On Sunday, September 28, from 2–5 p.m., Casa Nané is partnering with Pawffers and The Pet Journal Magazine for a creative, pet-friendly painting event. Guests will enjoy a guided session with artist @lipigicoart to create a colorful portrait of their own dog. To make it easy for artists of all skill levels, the artist will pre-sketch each pet from a submitted photo, so attendees are ready to paint upon arrival. RSVP here.
