Artist Jules Anslow organized an Art Week for the Sanctuary this summer. Over the course of ten days the Sanctuary has been transformed with animal inspired art for all to enjoy. Every surface became a canvas and every building now sparkles with bright colors. This beautiful art brings new life to the shelters that protect those who live here.

Some of the artists camped on site in tents while others painted by day and returned home at night. Vegan dinners were generously prepared by volunteers
