Art for the Animals

There has been a long tradition of local artists supporting the work of Pope Memorial Humane Society. The Art for the Animals auction secured funding to purchase the land we are on and supported operations as an annual event for over twenty years. Continuing that tradition, the Art Wall allows artists to display their work and show support for all that PMHS does for the community and its animals in need.

All work exhibited can be purchased, with a percentage of the selling price donated to support the work of Pope Memorial Humane Society. If you are interested in exhibiting your artwork and supporting the Shelter and would like further information, please email art@popehumane.org.

Pope Memorial Humane Society is thrilled to announce its newest exhibition of artwork, which is now on display on the Art Wall in the shelter’s lobby. The show, featuring pieces by Jim Dugan, is on display and available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Pope Memorial Humane Society.

Jim Dugan is a commercial and fine art photographer who has lived in Rockland since 1992. His work varies widely from still life and real estate to aerial drone photography and video.

He teaches photography every summer aboard the schooner Mary Day sailing out of Camden.

Jim regularly walks the Rockland Breakwater, and most of the photos in this show will be of those walks.

See more of his pictures at his website: JimDugan.com

Pope Memorial Humane Society is open Monday through Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm. We encourage our community to visit the shelter and see Jim’s artwork and all the adoptable animals. If you are interested in exhibiting your work on the PMHS Art Wall, please email art@popehumane.org.

The mission of Pope Memorial Humane Society is to ensure the compassionate care, treatment, and placement of companion animals in transition and to enrich the lives of pets and people in our community.
