The Barkitecture Am-Bassett-ors

The am-bassett-ors are fiberglass figures of dogs and cats that local artists will transform into 12 breathtaking works of art. These, too, will be auctioned for the benefit of MCA & the Humane Society. These am-bassett-ors will play a key role in the upcoming Barkitecture public art project.

Please give a big hound of appaws to the artists who are providing makeovers to our Barkitecture am-bassett-ors, a series of fiberglass dog and cat figures that will help usher in our events. Help us, also, thank the foster families who have been kind enough to furnish homes for the am-bassett-ors until they’re officially adopted at the February 2nd auction.
