La Matadora holding gala opening for Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter benefit show on Friday (11/6)

Our community’s only no-kill animal shelter hopes to raise funds by selling artwork from major names in the Morongo Basin.

The Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter for the shelter’s first gallery-style benefit event at La Matadora. It’s a special, two-day show with a gala opening event Friday night (November 6).

The exhibition features a diverse mix of artwork and unique pieces from local artists and collectors, with a special highlight donated by The Artist Shag and The Shag Store, a framed print titled “Dog Meet I” which will be available for silent auction, with the winning bidder announced at 6:00 PM Saturday (November 7)

In addition to the silent auction item, all pieces will be available for sale at the event, with all proceeds supporting the Joshua Tree No-Kill Shelter.
