Paradise Valley, AZ-based Artist Chad Little is holding an exhibit to debut his new Little Studio entitled, “Misfits” on Thursday, Nov. 9 with fifty percent of the proceeds allocated to Valley nonprofit Altered Tails, a 501c3 organization and Arizona’s largest spay/neuter clinic specializing in high quality, low cost spay/neuter services. 

Guests will have an exclusive opportunity to meet the artist at his studio and view his latest works of paintings while surrounded by the stunning beauty of his Paradise Valley home. The “Misfits” show features original oil painting on canvas inspired by vintage photos of unique subjects from around the country. The essence of these photos is the inspiration for the “Misfit” collection.

Little’s “Misfits” collection is in keeping with his passion for animal welfare causes and the countless rescue dogs and cats that Altered Tails performs spay and neuter surgeries on everyday to assist Arizona’s animal welfare organizations in decreasing the unwanted pet population.  

The “Misfits” collection is available for purchase online in advance of the exhibit with prices ranging from $800 - $3,500. A complete list, including pricing, can be found at www.chadlittleart.com/misfits-artwork.

INFO:               About Altered Tails:

Altered Tails is the only National Spay/Neuter Response Team-trained clinic in Maricopa County.  Three clinics located in Phoenix (950 W. Hatcher Road), Mesa (7246 E. Main Street) and Tucson (225 E. Valencia Road) provide high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter services for publicly owned pets and free-roaming cats.  In 2016 Altered Tails sterilized more than 23,000 cats and dogs throughout Maricopa and Pima Counties. To learn more about services and hours of operation, visit www.alteredtails.org.

Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for kittens and puppies as young 12 weeks of age, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Spaying female cats and dogs before the first heat cycle can be beneficial, improving the health of the pet by reducing the risk of certain reproductive cancers and infections.
