Ruff-ly Drawn Portraits!
Thank you to the 400+ donors who submitted over 500 photos of their very good looking pets! Thank you for thinking of the animals. We hope you enjoy your artwork!
We had a lot of fun, and we’re looking forward to doing the Ruff-ly Drawn Fundraiser again in 2025!
Welcome to our second annual event! We’re so happy to again be bringing art and our beloved animals together in one fun opportunity. Last year’s event was a huge success so we’re back for a second year!
Have you always wanted a custom piece of art that features your pet? Are you driven to support a local organization focused on helping animals? Do you enjoy a light hearted mystery and a little adventure? Would you love to know how all 3 of those questions come together into one opportunity? We have a delightful answer for you with this super exciting fundraiser.
For a donation of $25 (per animal) you will receive custom made artwork featuring your pet that is yours forever. The process is simple, You send in the donation and your favorite picture, and a volunteer artist will send back a portrait based on that picture.
Here’s where the mystery and adventure part comes in! Our artists range from highly talented to never drawn before in their lives… so you won’t know who is creating your portrait until you get the artwork back! Will it be a work of art for prominent display? Will it be a conversation starter for the refrigerator? Either way, it will be custom created just for you with a lot of love and effort.
The artwork may be a sculpture or hand drawn, Acrylics or digital, mixed media or paper and pencil; basically any format the artist feels best suits their skills and your animal. All art will be emailed back to you in a printable format for you to keep forever.
The submission window will be open from Monday, April 1st, 9am PST to Wednesday, April 10th, 9pm PST. All final art will be delivered via email no later than April 28th, 2024.
The donation is $25 per animal, with no more than 3 animals per shared photo. Any additional animals must be submitted individually.
Any additional questions, or concerns with your submission can be directed to portraits@thevbas.org
Check back in 2025 to make your donation and submit your photos!
