The Eastern Shore Art Center will welcome families to a free afternoon of art, education and animal-themed activities during “Art of the Paw” on Saturday, Sept. 19.

The event will take place from noon to 4 p.m. at the Eastern Shore Art Center, 401 Oak St. in Fairhope, a news release said. The event is open to all ages.

Guests can participate in interactive booths, explore a pop-up exhibit featuring cat- and dog-themed artwork and create their own art through make-and-take projects.

The Baldwin Humane Society will also return for a special adoption event as part of the festivities. Event Chair Katie Sneed will spearhead the event.

“We are excited to have Baldwin Humane Society set up with a special adoption event!” Sneed said in the release.

The event is sponsored by the Thompson Animal Hospital, with additional funding provided through the Support The Arts Tag Grant.
