The WVSA ARTiculate Gallery has an Opening on June 12th 2008. The third annual “Every Dog has Its Day: Celebrating our Canine Companions” exhibition features commissioned pet portraits from all around the country.

Now you have a chance to order a commissioned painting. Come to our gallery opening to meet our artists and experience first hand how your commissioned portrait is created and how your efforts support our artists and organization.

This is a chance for the public to help young people with special needs by immortalizing their pets.

How to commission a portrait? Easy! Visitors can go the website and choose the size and artistic style. Upload or email a favorite pet photograph to our Artist Apprentices; they then transform the photograph into a one-of-a-kind work of art that will change their room and warm their heart. Last year over 250 pet portraits were commissioned. Prices range from $100-$500 depending on size (11×14 – 30×30) and style (Abstract or Realistic). Commissioners can pay online, by check, or in person. Rush service, domestic and international shipping is also available to all pet lovers living anywhere in the world. Businesses are also encouraged to get involved through many available sponsorship options available that support the program.
