Not So Perfect Pet Portraits

Join us for our 4th annual Outsider Art Pet Portraits Fundraiser.

For a donation of $20 or more towards our Walk for the Animals Fundraiser, we will draw you a picture of your pet. This year, our staff is picking up their paintbrushes and crayons to turn your animal into a “Work of Art”…. the catch? We’re a whole lot better at caring for animals than we are at drawing them!

Will you get a Picasso painting, or will you get the team member who literally NO ONE wants on their Pictionary team? Who knows, satisfaction is NOT guaranteed – but either way, it’ll be fun!

Here’s how it works:

1) Make a gift of $20 (or more – every bit helps!) by clicking here. You can purchase your pet portrait between now and 5:00 on Friday, April 28th! That’s right, just click here to make your donation of $20 or more and you’ll be set. That ensures you get an artist assigned to you before we run out of slots.

2)  Once you have paid, email a picture of your pet to devassist@apsofdurham.org. Artists are prepared to include up to two animals per portrait. If you wish to have more than one portrait made, please make an additional donation of at least $20 per photo submitted.

3) The fundraiser will end at 5pm on April 28th.  We only have enough artists for the first 70 submissions. Don’t hesitate and miss your chance.

4.) On May 5th, our staff will gather at HiWire Brewing for a night of drawing and creativity. Once it is complete, we will email you a digital copy.

5.) Tag, share, and enjoy your pet portrait! And don’t forget to use the hashtags #walkwithme2023 and #APSoutsiderart. Thank you for supporting APS!

Funds raised during this online event will help APS greatly in continuing to provide the necessary care and medical attention needed for our animals. Alright, ready to join us?! Our staff is ready with pencils, crayons, and brushes in hand.
