Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter Seeking Artists for Mural
Following their announcement of a new Learning Center opening next month on Grand Avenue, the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter is putting out a call for local artists to help with an upcoming large scale project.
According to the post on the YVAS Facebook page, proposals are now being accepted for a community-engaging mural that is planned at the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter, located at 1735 Monad Road.
The selected mural artist will be responsible for the complete implementation of the mural. Collaboration and consultation with community groups, other local artists, and local businesses are highly encouraged and will be expected for the success of the project.
Wet Nose Wednesday: Meet Koko
Here s what the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter has to say about Koko:
Go, go, go, love, love, love! This girl would love an active home, where she can be someone’s best friend and adventure buddy. She’s very high energy and is in need of someone that can help her get that energy out! She loves to give hugs, and run around to check on everyone to see how they’re doing. She has potential to do well with kiddos once she’s got some manners under her belt, but may be a tid bit overwhelming for them right now. She would prefer to be the only animal in the home, so her human can really focus on teaching her to be a good fur-member of society.
