A NEW pack of superhero dog sculptures debuts at The Dali with Superheroes on Parade Now in its 3rd year

August 27, 2018 by Post

Palmetto, Fla. (August 27, 2018) —Southeastern Guide Dogs is proud to launch the third season of Superheroes on Parade—a creative collaboration of sponsors and artists that will display a new crop of creatively painted dog sculptures throughout Tampa, St. Petersburg and Sarasota. This unique, whimsical, dog-centered fundraising campaign raises awareness of Southeastern Guide Dogs’ programs that transform lives, and benefits the inspirational people and superhero dogs that drive our mission.

 

Unveiling Event

September 12, 2018

The Dali Museum

One Dali Boulevard

St. Petersburg, FL 33701

7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

 

Sponsors and artists will unveil the first batch of 14 new caped superheroes: four life-sized dogs, six puppies and four relief sculptures.

The sculptures are modeled after the real superheroes of Southeastern Guide Dogs: the Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers and goldadors that are born, raised and trained at Southeastern Guide Dogs’ campus in Palmetto.

The public will be invited to participate in an online contest where they will vote for their favorite sculpture. The campaign will culminate in a red carpet awards event at The Art Ovation Hotel on April 4, 2019.
