Eight Reasons Why You Should Love Artists For Animals

In the past 4 years, Artists for Animals has organized, funded, and programmed four performances that resulted in over $60,000 raised for rescue organizations that get homeless animals off the streets and into forever homes. The concerts feature world class musicians, professional photographers, and visual artists who inspire and educate audience members and celebrate and support rescue animals. Now they're hoping to expand their reach and help more animals in need. Here's why you should take note.
