The Connecticut Edit X Sorelle Gallery Exhibition, A Good Day, Featuring Local Artist Russell Miyaki

Sorelle Gallery and The Connecticut Edit partnered on the exhibition, A Good Day, featuring local artist Russell Miyaki to benefit rescue organizations Dog Star Rescue and Westport Animal Shelter Advocates (WASA). The exhibition along with an Artist Talk led to multiple adoptions and needed funds for the two organizations. Russell Miyaki’s artwork depicts portraits of dogs of all breeds in vibrant, lively color palettes, and his repertoire includes custom, commissioned paintings of dogs. During the Artist Talk, Miyaki discussed his creative process, and guests had the opportunity to place orders for commissioned works. For the duration of the month-long exhibition, 10% of sales of paintings and commissions by Miyaki were donated to Dog Star Rescue and WASA. Both organizations were present during the opening reception with dogs in need of homes and available for adoption. To support not one, but two nonprofit organizations, Westport Animal Shelter and Dog Star Rescue, through local artist Russell Miyaki’s vivid dog paintings at Sorelle Gallery will help so many animals in need. The opportunity to partner with philanthropically minded Earth Animal and Pet Pantry is incredible. Our yellow lab, Wonton, and us stood ready to serve!
