If you have spent more than five minutes with me, you know about my passion for animals and art. One event that combines both of these things is Art4Paws. It’s put on by the Madison Arts Council on April 6th. Last year was its inaugural year, and a lot of great rescues and vendors came out despite the unseasonably cool weather.

This year, MAC is planning another great event with even more vendors and rescue organizations. It’s going to be a family-friendly art festival where you can bring even your furriest family member. And if you don’t have one, you can adopt one there!

The Madison Arts Council (MAC) is now accepting Vendors for the 2nd Annual “Art 4 Paws” Pet Adoption and Art Festival that will take place on April 6, 2013.

“Art 4 Paws” mixes art and arfs on the Village Green in Historic Downtown Madison. Animal shelters and rescue groups from the surrounding areas are able to promote their organizations and animals in need of ‘furever’ homes.

Professional photographers and painters will be on hand to capture your pet’s personality in their unique way.  Vendors will have booths with art and pet-related items for sale. Donations and profits from booth rentals will be divided among the participating shelters and rescue groups (after event costs).

This family and four-legged-friendly festival begins at 9:00 a.m. and will last until 4:00 p.m.
