Dog Bowl Art Installation that Gives Back

Dog_bowls_provincetown

This art installation of 500
plastic dog bowls by Denny Camino has raised approximately $4,500 for building a
public dog park in Provincetown, MA.

The installation, located in front of
the Denny Camino Gallery, 205 Commercial St., has been there since
July.  Passersbys are encouraged to toss their change into the
water-filled bowls, creating a  fun, interactive atmosphere that draws
crowds every day.

Watch the artist discuss the thought process behind his work and his surprise that people have become so "excited, thrilled and filled with wonder by it."   I am not surprised at all.  It's magnificent!

Thanks for the tip, Kathleen (my sister), of Cape Cod's Truro Fine Art Studio, where their new show of ex-pat American Impressionist Milton Wright opens today from 4-8 pm, and runs until September 8, 2008.
