Sedona News – In conjunction with their summer art exhibit, the Sedona Renegades Artist Group is partnering with the Verde Valley Humane Society in support of VVHS’s many invaluable programs in the community.
The highlight of this partnership will be a reception celebrating the VVHS’s good works on Friday, July 19, 5:00 – 7:30PM. The public is cordially invited to this reception, which will feature a raffle of many fine artworks by the Renegades, a giveaway of a pet-oriented goodie basket, and of course some nice, human-oriented goodies as well.
At least one very cute animal from VVHS will be on hand to help explain the many benefits that pet adoption can bring. The reception will be at the Renegades exhibit in the Special Exhibition Gallery of the Sedona Arts Center, 15 Art Barn Road, Sedona, Arizona 86336.
The VVHS, located in Cottonwood, shelters animals from all across Yavapai County and is at full capacity most of the time. As a ‘no kill’ shelter, they rely on the community to understand their role in finding the best animal outcomes.
Thus, through Parks and Rec and the local library, they provide summer and after-school programs to teach families and children about caring for animals. In addition, they provide services like Spay & Neuter, Microchipping, Pet Food Sharing, and Pets for Patriots.
Their esteemed volunteers are the heart of the organization, serving as dog walkers, cat socializers, and pet foster families, and they also help with “Read to the Dogs” and courtyard and agility play activities. Their Board members are hands-on and available to help at any time of the day or night.
The Sedona Renegades have conducted local art shows for well over a decade, and their memorable summer exhibit at the Sedona Arts Center runs through the end of July. They are showing an exceptional range of fine artworks, and visitors are welcomed any day of the week. Sales from the show will benefit the VVHS.
The Renegades include Karen O’Donnell, Carol and Rick Gandolfo, Judy Feldman, John Warren Oakes, Jan Saunders, Nita Marlette, Carol Hildebrand, Maude Metcalf, and Jim Peterson.
Their exhibit can be seen in the Special Exhibition Gallery at the Sedona Arts Center, 15 Art Barn Road, Sedona, Arizona 86336. It continues daily 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, except Sundays noon to 5:00 PM, through July. For more information, contact Jim Peterson at 602-828-7407.

You know that there is a Humane Society in Sedona, right?
I’m an oil paint artist and would love to show my work. My art work is mainly landscape and nature . I’ll be glad to show them to a committee to critic them if needed. Mahalo.
