MOSTLY DOGS is talking about Art Paws!

Mostly Dogs


12th annual Art Paws event celebrating pets will be July 15 in Reno


 12TH ANNUAL ART PAWS
* Sun. July 15 – 10am-5pm
* McKinley Arts & Cultural Center, 925 Riverside Drive in Reno (near Keystone and First Street by the river)
* FREE ADMISSION!

More than 100 local vendors have come together to celebrate canine independence days at Art Paws, presented by PetFolio Magazine. Let them experience the wind behind their fur. Savor the joy of gourmet everything in the company of friends. Imprint their immortal soul on canvas. Gaze into a crystal ball with the aid of a psychic. Think, therefore be. Dog. And proud of it.

Art Paws is the only canine-friendly event at the Artown festival. The event features products and services designed to uplift the canine mind, body, and soul – and help animals in need. Voting at Art Paws will determine which three local animal-aid agencies will garner all the proceeds from the event.  In 2011, the US Wolf Refuge, Feline Rescue of Northern Nevada, and Boxers & Buddies received more than $6,000.  All proceeds from the event will benefit local non-profit pet organizations.   A special feature this year will be a free Tribute to Animals by the Nevada Opera, as well as wine and beer tastings and an evening concert by Rhythm Tailors Hillbilly Band.
