Local health food and supply store for dogs and cats, Long Leash on Life, is asking artists to help them brighten up their exterior with some art (see above photo)! They are open to a variety of styles and mediums, from murals to free-standing sculptures, as long as it incorporates dog and/or cat imagery and is as vandal-proof as possible.
