Gala for Animals 2022
Magnificent Beasts
The good times are right around the corner – our Gala for Animals is coming up! Mardi Paw will be held on Saturday, March 26th at 5:30 PM at the Hilton Fort Collins. Grab your mask and join the animal parade!
One of our favorite parts of the Gala for Animals are the amazing, unique pieces of art created every year for our silent auction: the Magnificent Beasts! The Beasts each begin as a wooden silhouette cutout of a dog or cat and each is given to a local artist, who is invited to make the piece their own. The artists have complete artistic freedom with the Beasts, and we eagerly await their creations each year. To add to the excitement of this year’s event, we’re giving you a sneak peek at some of this year’s beasts! We can’t wait for you to join us March 26th for the in-person and virtual unveiling of our Magnificent Beasts!
The Beasts represent a celebration of art (especially pet-themed!), local talent, and a way for our supporters to take home a one-of-a-kind gift while supporting our mission.
