Artists come together to help save butterflies

Fourteen local artists brought their works to the Carriage House Gallery of Artists Sept. 13, taking part in a special seven-week show designed to raise funds to help save the Monarch butterfly.

Local artist Denise “Dee” Nelson organized the Monarch Butterfly Fund art show, which will hang in the gallery at 110 Rosewood Ave. through Oct. 31.

“A portion of what we sell goes into the Monarch fund,” Nelson said. “Boerne’s one of those unique places that Monarch butterflies stop off at, and the fact that they are dying out unless we do something, they will be extinct by 2030.”
