Artist Cyrus Mejia, one of the founders of Best Friends Animal Society, has found another unique project to raise public awareness of animal issues. The new venture is part of the 575 Project, which illustrates the number of animals killed every hour in U.S. shelters. Mejia invites participation from anyone who has saved an animal's life through a rescue or adoption from a shelter.
People are asked to submit a 4x6 photo of the saved animal, with a short story of the rescue on the back. In return, Mejia will send
participants a signed and numbered print from an original linocut
titled "I Saved A Life." The photo will then be displayed as part of
the Best Friends Art Project exhibitions. Since it is part of the 575
Project, only 575 prints will be made, so photos should be submitted as soon as possible to Mejia at P.O. Box 33, Kanab, Utah 84741.
