Ryan Henry Ward, local muralist, will share his support for animals at this year's Snow Leopard Trust fundraiser, April 25 at the Orange Splot Gallery in Fremont.
The following are pieces by Ward which will showcased at the event.
Local artist, Ryan Henry Ward, known for the number of murals he’s painted in several Seattle neighborhoods, is teaming up with a Fremont art gallery in effort to save wild snow leopards.
A benefit art show and reception at the Orange Splot Gallery, located at the corner of Fremont Place North and Evanston Avenue North, will be hosting the event for the Snow Leopard Trust.
Based in Wallingford, the trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of the 3,500 endangered snow leopard’s remaining in the wild.
“Originally I was attracted to to snow leopards when I saw them in India where they had a snow leopard refuge,” Ward said. “I really like wildlife, I’m an environmentalist and I just think it’s a good thing, I like to be part of helping out animals.”
Ward’s work will be accompanied by the works of 15 other artists and photographers who have contributed their work. Ward will make a guest appearance during the reception.
The fundraiser event takes place this Saturday, April 25 from 7 to 10 p.m. and the exhibit will be on display through May 16.
