Paying an artistic tribute to our furry friends
AFTER a run in Shenzhen, the exhibition “Tail Me A Picture” travels to Shanghai and Guangzhou with 40 award- winning artworks selected from the 2020 Animals Asia Foundation Children’s Charity Drawing Competition, as well as 10 works by 27-year- old Ni Zhuojun, ambassador of the competition and member of the Guangzhou Children’s Palace Troupe’s Studio of Artists with Special Needs.
Ten more works by students from Shanghai Xuhui High School will be on show at the T20 Building in Xuhui Dictrict today.
Launched in July, the competition was open to children aged from 4 to 12 and teenagers with special needs under 18.
Produced and hosted by Animal Asia — a charity whose core mission is to improve the lives of animals across Asia — the exhibition themed “paint for love, hope for paw friends” introduces visitors to the artistic world created by 40 young, talented and imaginative artists.
It reflects their love and respect for life to raise awareness about animal welfare and encourage parents to teach their kids about responsible pet care.
Children and their parents can also attend a lecture for tips on raising pets while having a great time with furry four-legged critters.
Founded in 1998 in Hong Kong, Animal Asia advocates for a civilized and respectful coexistence between people
and companion animals.
It champions the idea that many problems confronting people and animals can be resolved, leading to a harmonious and peaceful world for all.
