The Bark Show to benefit Pet Helpers Adoption Center
Guests at Thursday night’s Bark Show at the Wickliffe House—a Margo Kaufman Gallery event to benefit Pet Helpers Adoption Center—were treated to the largest exhibition Margo has ever hosted. The show featured nine contemporary artists, including painters Kat Hastie and Townsend Davidson joined by the newly discovered Sally Benedict and Kate Long Stevenson, just to name a few. Guests wandered upstairs and down and on the porches viewing paintings, sculptures, and furniture/objects d’art handcrafted by Michael Moran and enjoying Mr. Koolie’s ice cream treats, eclectic wines from Vidalco International, and catering by Mediterra. The front lawn seemed to be the hot spot. The area allowed dogs to run about and play and to show off for their prospective owners.
As an added bonus to the evening, art enthusiasts got the opportunity to witness the launch of the Margo T-shirt collection. There were two different designs, one with Margo’s face screen-printed in bright orange on the front and the other with the words “I Art”. Excited to see that I had purchased one of these fabulous creations, Margo Kaufman owner Jeffery Rhodes commented on the quality of the T-shirt saying, “These are no Fruit of the Loom.” Jeffery, I will wear it with pride. Sales of the Margo T-shirts will ensure the continued support and promotion of emerging contemporary artists.
A portion of sales from the event will go to fund the capital campaign to underwrite the new 14,000 square foot Pet Helpers Adoption Shelter and Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic at 1447 Folly Road, James Island.
What do you get when you take a historic mansion, contemporary art, champagne, adoptable rescued puppies, throw in an ice cream truck, and a DJ that spins Cyndi Lauper and ABBA? The biggest Margo Show to date! Over 70 pieces of work from emerging artists were on show and for sale to a nearly fire hazard size crowd. Best of all, Margo was proud to host this event to benefit Pet Helpers, an animal rescue and adoption non profit.
Margo would have been lost without the hard work and navigation of: Susan Taylor and Emily Laurie from Pet Helpers, Katie Priegel and Jeff Gleim from Mediterra Catering, Ross and Margaret from Mr. Koolie’s, Pandamonium (the amazing DJ), Karen Siegel, Caroline Williams, Diana Pittman, and Don Hill.

Margo Says: Buy a painting. Save a puppy!
This summer Margo will launch a collection of t-shirts designed for art lovers and fashion lovers! Sales of the Margo t-shirts will ensure the continued support and promotion of emerging contemporary artists. Margo’s website is being updated for e-commerce, and the t-shirts will be available online and at each Margo art show.
The first 2 designs will make their debut at the Margo/Pet Helpers event on July 16th.
Margo Says: Clear off some wall space AND some closet space!
Margo gets mentioned in Jonathan Sanchez’s Spoleto Party Blog:
“Who are you and why are you dressed so fabulous?” she said to a young man in a bright orange jacket and matching streak of hair.
Answers: Jeffery Rhodes, and because he’s the representative of host Kat Hastie’s artwork, which was hung all over the ballroom, a la the Collection.Through his roving Margo Kaufman Gallery (named after his grandmother, the business card features the only picture of her to survive Katrina) Rhodes also sells Townsend Davidson, David Boatwright, Tim Hussey and more. And last night he was also showing work by Stella Nova hair salon. (The streaks often compliment the colors in shows. And no it didn’t show up in the picture.) Read the whole article.
Congrats to pottery prodigy, Daniel McSweeney, on his most recent show of new works for margokaufmangallery.com. A staggering 19 pieces were sold during the show! Margo warned her public that Daniel’s work was a must have. Call Jeffery now 843 810 8187, and make McSweeney part of your collection.
Special thanks to Neil Heitzmann, OM Cooking, Tim Hussey, and Elan Ziff. Rest in peace, Beavis, in your new, fabulous McSweeney urn.
