We’ve long admired the work done by the volunteers at the Horse Protection League, a non-profit dedicated to the welfare of horses, ponies, mules and donkeys. The HPL is run entirely by volunteers, who feed, groom, exercise and nurse back to health as many as 20 horses at a time at the historic Churches Ranch in Golden.
Given this group’s good work, we’re pleased to help spread the word about Art for Horses, a fundraising art show that opens Friday, Feb. 19 and runs through Saturday, Mar. 6 at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design’s Rotunda Pavilion. The show will feature equine- and western-themed fine art across a range of media, including painting and sculpture.
Swing by for the opening reception on Friday, Feb. 19, from 6-9 p.m. Admission to the show is free, and art is available for purchase during show hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

Hi Hilary O, thank you for posting this info on 2010 Art for Horses. Two of my paintings have been selected for the show and it’s going to be a wonderful happening. Let’s all support HPL and raise funds for the horses! See you there …

Thanks for the support! I hope lots of people come to check it out!

I can’t wait until the show starts. I have previewed the fantastic art work and have a watercolor of a stallion of the Little Book Cliffs wild mustang herd, northeast of Grand Junction, picked out to purchase.
Volunteering at the HPL is life changeing. Churches Ranch, near Golden, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Working with the wonderful volunteers to care for and nurture the horses back to health on an 1860′s ranch smack dab in the middle of our busy lives is truly rewarding. We ended up adopting one of these marvelous creatures!

Good Morning!
I am one of the participating artists (from Montana) that will be offering some of my paintings at the HPL Art for Horses Show & Sale. Thanks so much for helping promote it. Protecting horses is something I have been involved with all my life. Being able to promote the horse through my art is a real blessing! Thanks again!

Thank you for supporting the very first Art for Horses show, benefiting the Horse Protection League. It promises to be a wonderful exhibit, and supports HPL in their ongoing efforts to provide a safe and loving refuge for our equine friends. I truly appreciate your efforts on HPL’s behalf.

My husband and I have adopted a number of donkeys over the years and I am honored to have had my sculpture of one of our old donkeys chosen for this event. I urge everyone to support the worthwhile efforts of the Horse Protection League.

I am so thrilled to see you supporting this art show! Nonprofits have a tough time competing for grants and are always looking for new ways to raise money. This is a creative win for everyone.
