Pet Portrait Fundraiser!
Chicken by Hannah Reeves
Local artists will draw or paint your pet’s portrait based on the photo you submit. All proceeds will benefit both the Columbia Art League and a local animal shelter/rescue/adoption organization.
Cost: $35 per pet portrait
We are completely sold out of portraits for 2023! Thank you for all of the support! Check back next year for more!
How it works:
You send in a photo of your pet and pay the fee online. Deadline: October 15, 2023
One of our artists, selected at random, will receive your photo and create an original portrait of your pet in their own unique artistic style. Only one pet per pet portait! If you have more than one pet you’d like to have a portrait made of, you will need to upload another picture for that pet and increase your quantity to two. Each portrait will be one of a kind! Please note: you get what you get. We cannot give refunds if you are unhappy with your portrait. Part of the fun of this project is that you don’t know which artist has your pet.
All portraits will be either be mailed back to you by November 17th, 2023. Or you may pick up your portrait at the Columbia Art League after November 17th. You must select your preferred method when you sign up.

Details:
Each portrait will be 2-dimensional and roughly 5x7 in size. Part of the fun of this fundraiser is that you won’t know which artist will be making your pet’s portrait. And each artist gets to make their portrait in their own style!
Each portrait will mail flat, and will not be framed.
Limit 2 portraits per person. We can’t guarantee that the same artist will paint all of your pet portraits. You may end up with portraits made by different artists. Portraits should show your animal with good lighting and be in focus. We cannot guarantee the quality of the portrait based on a dark or blurry images of your pet.
No refunds or exchanges will be issued.
