Welcome to the first of what we hope are many years of Art Unleashed. This project is a collaboration between area artists, local businesses, and us, Service Dogs of Virginia (SDV).

Twenty painted fiberglass Labradors will be displayed in different venues in Charlottesville and surrounding areas of Virginia from July 2026 to October 2026. They will then be sold at auction to benefit a new training center for SDV. A map of where to find all the dogs on display along with information on how to purchase tickets to the auction will be available here in the spring of 2026. Please come back soon. In the meantime, if you have questions or would like to suggest an artist or a sponsor, please visit our FAQs or send us a message.
