Gimme Shelter!

Here at the Stephen Daiter Gallery we are totally psyched to be hosting

GIMME SHELTER! – a month –long exhibition culminating in a silent auction of the best kind – one where you get something wonderful for a really good price and feel absolutely marvelous doing it.

How ???, you may wonder? Well it’s simple. GIMME SHELTER will benefit CHICAGO CANINE RESCUE, a truly special Chicago operation staffed with dedicated animal caregivers and volunteers.

And – 100% (Yeah, you read that RIGHT!! ) of every dollar you spend on a cool work of art or quality offering goes D I R E C T L Y to them.

If you’ve ever adopted a dog, cat, or anything for that matter, you know how good it can feel to give these little guys a second chance at life. At CHICAGO CANINE RESCUE, they go a BIG step further, and offer a third and last chance at life – especially embracing those animals who are cast-off by other well-meaning shelters. Whether illness, age or abuse-induced behavior is preventing normal adoption, here the critters are cared for and cherished until they find a home, or live out the rest of their lives in comfort. So reach for the piggy bank, and follow our offerings online and also in person, if you possibly can.

Photographs, books and other prizes gathered from around the country will be on display during April with bids being taken starting April 4th, and the silent auction taking place on Saturday, April 25th, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Please show up in person if you can that day and mingle with like-minded art-lovers ! And go home with a wonderful work of art you nailed for an even more wonderful cause !!  

See You Here in April!
