The 575 Project by Cyrus Mejia is the main element of this exhibit. Mejia's work has been shown in America's largest cities. It calls attention to the sad fact that 5 million pets are put to death each year in U.S. shelters as 575 dogs and cats are killed every hour. Several other invited artists will also be featured on gallery walls. These works all follow a theme depicting dogs and cats as intelligent, sensitive, and aware beings. The juxtaposition of these works with The 575 Project highlights the tragedy of using euthanasia as a solution to the problem of pet overpopulation.
