Here are some frequently asked questions that have appeared even since two years ago when the first idea of this exhibition was born. I'm sure they will come up again so you have all the answers here:
Q: Why DOGS? Couldn't you dedicate your cause to some orphan children instead?
A: There are several reasons for which I chose to help dogs :-)
First, because I'm very attached to them. I had a dog in my home since I was a little kid, and personally I get along much better with dogs than with children (don't ask why).
Second, I believe there are enough organisations that support children and so on. In my country nobody thinks about stray dogs, but everyone is angry because there are too many of them on the streets. And people think the animal protection associations are doing nothing about it - this is a misconception, and it has to be changed. The associations are doing the best they can, as long as they have a little support from the citizens.

Q: How much do you charge for a painting and what rate goes to the association?
A: The price for a dog painting (dimensions: 20x20 cm) is 50euros, and it is framed.
From these 50 euros, I'll deduct the taxes and dues, as well as the cost of the materials, and the rest of the money will go to the Three Spotted Brothers association in Turda, Romania. That is ~25euros/painting, at a preliminary calculus.
I will calculate the exact rates after the exhibition will be finished, when I'll also have the number of stickers and magnets that are sold.
Q: How do I know that the money will really go there?
A: By following this blog, you will receive information about who bought paintings, how many money have gathered, there will be an e-mail address at your service for more details, there will be pictures from the shelter with all the things that were bought with the money, there will be an invoice for the food, and for the construction materials for the shelter. The ones from the association will be able to confirm and answer your questions. The pictures will also appear on the association's Facebook page. Everything is transparent.
Q:How can I support this action?
A: Any kind of advertising for this action is welcome, every fav, like, share +1. Any donation is welcome, from paypal/bank transfer to donations in food, blankets, food dishes, etc. Any painting, magnet, sticker bought from the exhibition is a support. Each to his power.
