Shelter- An Art Exhibit/ Fundraiser for The Winnipeg Humane Society

$5 Admission
Come to the official fundraiser and party on Saturday, June 25 from noon until 6:00 pm!

Following up the success of “Strays”, her art exhibit/ fundraiser for D’Arcy’s ARC in November, 2010, Thompson is displaying a new experience of photography and awareness titled “Shelter.”
I had volunteered to spend the day in this place of neglected, abandoned and abused animals now sheltered from harm but still without families to call their own.
I, a passionate lover and rescuer of animals, had chosen to spend the day getting to know the true personalities of some of Winnipeg’s homeless pets. I looked down to the camera in my hands and I remembered.
I was at Canada’s oldest animal shelter, the Winnipeg Humane Society to capture what it means to be compassionate, aware and most importantly, full of hope.
