March 6 – April 13, 2024
The Maya Project celebrates a rescue dog through the genre of pet portraiture. Maya is a rescue dog that, upon adoption as a puppy, had several potentially fatal health issues. To celebrate Maya’s good health on her first birthday, friends created portraits in their choice of media limited only by size to honor how tiny she was as a puppy. Over the last two years, the Maya Project has expanded to over three dozen contributions by artists that met Maya in person or through social media. Watch for community-oriented programming and participate!
