The Bark Show to benefit Pet Helpers Adoption Center
Guests at Thursday night’s Bark Show at the Wickliffe House—a Margo Kaufman Gallery event to benefit Pet Helpers Adoption Center—were treated to the largest exhibition Margo has ever hosted. The show featured nine contemporary artists, including painters Kat Hastie and Townsend Davidson joined by the newly discovered Sally Benedict and Kate Long Stevenson, just to name a few. Guests wandered upstairs and down and on the porches viewing paintings, sculptures, and furniture/objects d’art handcrafted by Michael Moran and enjoying Mr. Koolie’s ice cream treats, eclectic wines from Vidalco International, and catering by Mediterra. The front lawn seemed to be the hot spot. The area allowed dogs to run about and play and to show off for their prospective owners.
As an added bonus to the evening, art enthusiasts got the opportunity to witness the launch of the Margo T-shirt collection. There were two different designs, one with Margo’s face screen-printed in bright orange on the front and the other with the words “I Art”. Excited to see that I had purchased one of these fabulous creations, Margo Kaufman owner Jeffery Rhodes commented on the quality of the T-shirt saying, “These are no Fruit of the Loom.” Jeffery, I will wear it with pride. Sales of the Margo T-shirts will ensure the continued support and promotion of emerging contemporary artists.
A portion of sales from the event will go to fund the capital campaign to underwrite the new 14,000 square foot Pet Helpers Adoption Shelter and Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic at 1447 Folly Road, James Island.
