Pedigreed pooch or rescued mutt, feisty feline or handsome horse \u2013 pets come in all shapes, sizes, and species, and artists participating in this month\u2019s exhibit at Alpine Art capture pets\u2019 personalities in paint and photography. A portion of all proceeds from the show will be donated to Best Friends Animal Society.<\/p>\n<p>When the third annual\u00a0<em>Best in Show<\/em>\u00a0opens for Gallery Stroll on Friday, June 15, your pets are invited, too. In past years, says curator Matt Chiodo, there have been lots of dogs attending and even a turtle. To encourage attendance by the subjects the show celebrates, the gallery has asked local artist Zoe Rodriguez to photograph pets. She will be there from 6 \u2013 8 p.m. There\u2019s no charge for the sitting, and prints may be purchased from Rodriguez after the event.<\/p>\n<p>As for the 30-some pieces of art, expect some whimsy and lots of personality. The postcard image, \u201cCommando,\u201d by Zoe Rodriguez, captures one of those awkward poses with legs splayed that dogs excel at. In one painting in the show Darrell Driver imagines a pug as a zebra. \u201cA lot of the art that artists bring will be about the emotional attachment people have with their pets,\u201d says Chiodo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great community building event for us, and, of course, it supports something that matters,\u201d says Chiodo. The gallery has tried to get the word out to the pet owner population through Best Friends and various other pet organizations.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of show is a natural fit for Alpine which has it\u2019s own shop dog, Abby, who is always there. She can usually be found napping hard by the front counter, undisturbed by the flow of customers.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"byline\">Best in Show will be on display at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/alpineartinc.com\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpine Art<\/a>\u00a0through July 16.
