Mark your calendar to join us for a unique evening to benefit the homeless animals of Northern Colorado at "HOLLYWOOF"!

2007 Gala Art Poster

Loveland artist Mark Lewis calls this year's Top Cat & Tails Gala art poster "a dog's dream of Hollywood." Slightly askew, we wonder why would this adorable Italian Greyhound be dreaming of a cat? Well, in HOLLYWOOF anything is possible. Mark's gallery Studio 121 recently celebrated opening at 501 Cleveland Avenue in the heart of Loveland's art district. He lives with his lovely wife and his adorable cats, one adopted from the Larimer Humane Society at our annual Whisker Whimsy adoption event! Mark and Laura are true supporters of the animals. Mark's work in landscape and architectural photo-art can be viewed at his gallery. The Top Cat & Tails art poster is ONLY available at the Gala in limited print (25) numbered and signed. Our deep appreciation to Fine Print Imaging for donation of printing and to Mr. Mark Lewis for donation of his beautiful work in honor of Larimer Humane Society's annual event.
