Join us for our First-Ever

Dog Days of Summer 2024 Gallery Exhibit

August 6^th-Sept. 7^th, 2024

Westfield on Weekends is excited to present our first-ever Dog Days of Summer event. During challenging times, it is important to come together to celebrate our similarities, as well as our differences. We can all agree that dogs are cherished members of our families, reflecting the love, loyalty and friendship that we all wish for our country and communities. Here’s to “man’s best friend!”

WOW’s first-ever gallery exhibit in celebration of the dogs of our community. Dogs and their families are welcome to visit (water bowls and dog treats provided), as well as a opportunities for folks to snap a picture of their pet.

Artist/Co-curator James Johnson-Corwin will provide an illustrative backdrop for the photos – a hall of fame featuring large illustrations of famous dogs from history and popular culture that will complement the photographs of these dogs that are our own heroes. This colorful setting will also provide the perfect opportunity for visitors to take photos of their canine subjects, should they choose.

Congratulations to our Dog Days of Summer winners!
