# Philanthropic Doggie Projects 'Art for Pitties' Campaigns for Pit Bulls Using Original Art By Tiana Reid | Published 2010-07-06 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-for-pitties References: [ecorazzi](http://www.ecorazzi.com/2010/07/02/animal-loving-artists-team-up-for-art-for-pitties-project/) & [artforpitties.blogspot](http://artforpitties.blogspot.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-ownership) ‘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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Social Impact Art:** Creating art for philanthropic causes brings attention to social issues and promotes positive change. - **Animal Advocacy:** Using art and other creative initiatives to challenge stereotypes and promote understanding and compassion towards animals. - **Collaborative Activism:** Uniting artists and advocates to amplify the impact of philanthropic projects and campaigns. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Opportunities exist for artists and designers to use their talents for social impact and engage with philanthropic projects. - **Animal Welfare:** There is a growing need for innovative approaches in raising awareness and funds for animal advocacy and challenging misconceptions. - **Non-profit Organizations:** Collaborative initiatives like 'Art for Pitties' demonstrate the potential for creative campaigns to support and strengthen the mission of non-profit organizations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Faceted Whiskey Brand Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-tinpup.md) - [Animal Welfare Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-league-america.md) - [Dog-Honoring Fundraising Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogust-campaign.md) - [Artful Elevated Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggy-bathroom-1.md) - [Dog Rescue-Supporting Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-lager.md) - [Charitable Pet-Focused Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawsperity.md) - [Collaborative Domestic Violence Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sarah-hyland.md) - [Digital Dog Shelter Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-breed1.md) - [AI Pet Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petpic-ai.md)
