The dogs came to the Broads last Thursday night as “Broads Go to the Dogs” opened at First Christian Church – Disciples of Christ.
The meet-the-artists reception included several “adorable, adoptable tail-waggers” looking for a forever home, says Betty A. Proctor, chair of communications for the McCallie Avenue church.
First Christian opened its Palette to Table Gallery in August 2017 and typically holds spring and fall shows. A portion of sales goes toward church ministries, often the Chattanooga Community Kitchen, and perhaps another charity of the artists’ choosing. “Broads Go to the Dogs,” showcasing works by the Broad Stroke Artists, will funnel a portion of sales to McKamey Animal Center.
Show curator Gail Rich, owner of JumpSt/Art Emerging Artist Services, says the show will run through Dec. 31, “which hopefully can inspire some holiday shopping.”
