If the visitors spilling out on the streets in front of the popular Silver Lake Gallery were any indication, the goal of "Cry for Help": to aid in raising awareness about the plight of animals in our modern world, was reached. Attendees soaked up the viewpoints of more than 100 artists from diverse branches of the contemporary art scene who crafted original pieces for the event. In their own way, participating artists represented the complicated relationship between humans and the animal inhabitants of the world.
