The Animal Protective
APA Association Of Missouri
90th Anniversary Celebration
The Harry & Hanley Project
The Animal Protective Association of Missouri (APA) is celebrating its 90th
anniversary with The Harry & Hanley Project, a public art
project featuring 20 unique larger-than-life dog and cat
sculptures created by renowned sculptor Harry Weber
and custom-designed by some of St. Louis’ leading local
artists.
The 10 cats (named Harry after the sculptor) and 10 dogs (named Hanley after
the APA’s mascot) will be revealed on June 22 at Busch Stadium as part of
the Purina Pooches In The Ballpark Day and then will be displayed throughout
the summer at prominent locations in the St. Louis metropolitan area. In
September, the sculptures will be reunited at the entrances of the Clayton Art
Fair before being auctioned at the APA’s 90th anniversary birthday bash event
on September 14.
Artist Charlie Houska is busy painting his doggie in the window of his Houska Gallery on McPherson in the CWE. Go by and check out his progress!
