What’s New? Durango Powder Hounds Photo Contest!
The Powder Hound Photo Contest was created in partnership with our Powder Hounds Art Auction. The art auction features snowboard art created by local artists and placed up for auction two-week long online silent auction. We understand that not everyone is interested in bidding on snowboards or playing the auction game, so we created a fun, interactive, dog friendly photo contest for all to join!
100% of the proceeds from both the photo contest and the art auction will benefit the homeless animals in our care. Funds raised will help us to continue to provide important medical and behavioral care, emergency surgeries, spay & neuter services, vaccinations, free courtesy hold for individuals in need, supplies and low cost medical services to the community.
Enter your powder hound or vote for your favorite! The photo contest runs from Monday, March 1st – Sunday, March 14th ending at 12:00 p.m. (MST)
Prizes
The dog voted Durango’s Powder Hound will receive:
A custom commission snowboard art piece featuring the winning dog, created by internationally collected artist Ray Phillips.
Bio and Gallery Information:
Artist Ray Phillips has always held a passion for creating art. Like many artists, Ray’s artistic journey began as a young child. At age 10 he enrolled at the prestigious Houston Museum of Fine Art School now the Glassell School of Art. As an adult, Ray focused his artistic attention on graphic design and music; playing in a band at night and crafting ad campaigns, posters, t-shirts, logos and branding by day. Ray soon rose to become a partner/creative director at a design and marketing firm in Houston, Texas; yet the longing to create fine art was still present. Ray began his painting career in his free time, integrating skills and techniques he learned as a designer. His work has evolved into an amalgam of typography, abstract composition, collage/mixed media and hidden messages. Each piece is initiated in Ray’s mind and translated to canvas – as much an intellectual pursuit as creative endeavor. Ray is an internationally collected artist with representation in fine art galleries in Vail, Aspen, Telluride, Houston, Austin and Dallas, as well as Canada and Mexico. Read more at rayphillips.com.
