Art for Pitties is a collaborative project started by New York-based activist Jenith Mateja that aims to fight the reputation of pit bulls as violent breed of dog.
The project involves thirty artists who create their own one-of-a-kind pieces for an auction. All the money raised from ‘Art for Pitties’ will go to the pit bull advocacy group ‘Even Chance.’ Hopefully, this campaign will help to show that pit bulls are pleasant companions that do not pose an inherent danger to human beings.
