MADISON – Artists, craftsmen, pet organizations and animal rescue groups can apply now for the 2016 Art 4 Paws festival.

Art 4 Paws will be held May 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Dublin Park. The event is held ‘rain or shine.’

Madison Arts Council (MAC) sponsors the annual outdoor event that “brings love of art and pets together for a day of fun the entire family will enjoy, right down to Fido,” MAC President Tina Clark said.

Local and regional visual artists and sculptors will sell one-of-a-kind wares. “You’ll find whimsical garden art, jewelry, paintings, plus fun pet items, just to name a few,” Clark said.

For 2016, Art 4 Paws is moving from downtown to Dublin Park, 8324 Old Madison Pike. “We’re excited to expand this year to Dublin Park. This event will be held on the same day as the Dog Disc Days Competition to bring in more people,” Clark said.

Individuals or businesses that want to sponsor Art 4 Paws can contact Clark. For more information, email info@artsmadison.org or visit artsmadison.org.
