Alpha 137 Gallery Launches Online Exhibition Benefiting Animal Welfare and Artists

Alpha 137 Gallery has initiated an online exhibition to support both animal welfare organizations and artists during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative, juried by artcritical's David Cohen, specifically benefits Best Friends Animal Society while also providing financial assistance to participating creators. An open call targets sculptors, painters, printmakers, and mixed media artists residing in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Submitted works must be original creations produced after March 1, 2020, and must honor pets that provided companionship during lockdown periods. The submission deadline has been extended to July 31, 2020. This project addresses the dual crisis of increased pet homelessness and economic hardship for artists during the pandemic. Interested artists can find submission details on the Alpha 137 Gallery website.
