Housemates Art Exhibit at Del Ray Artisans

Have you ever had a housemate who made you laugh, drove you crazy, made you shake your head in wonder or filled your heart with love? Do your housemates have fur, feathers, scales, fins or are they actually people? In the Housemates art exhibit, the members of Del Ray Artisans share their housemates through many creative forms: painting, photography, digital art, sculpture, ceramics, or whatever medium brings to life their pets or human housemates. Lucky us, we get to share and enjoy them.

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, November 3, 7-9pm to meet curator Robyn Seaton McGarry and the artists. Mark your calendar now or set a reminder through Eventbrite.

Del Ray Artisans is also hosting Meet and Greet events with two volunteer rescue groups in November:

• KING STREET CATS volunteers will be in the gallery on Saturday, November 4, 12–4pm.
• AUSSIE RESCUE OF THE MID-ATLANTIC volunteers will be in the gallery Saturday, November 18, 1–4pm.

Both organizations will provide information about their purpose, rescue parameters and adoption process. Who knows? You may even have the opportunity to meet your future housemate.
