About the Doggie Fashion Show

This year's 13th annual Art on the Ave is featuring a special event The Doggie Fashion Show!

We are looking for creative juices to be flowing as you and your furry friend strut your stuff on the...oh, dare I say it...On the CATWALK!

This year's show is all about your cuddly canine and his or her fabulously decorated hat, collar, leash or all three. This is where the fun part begins as you can create anything you want from frilly to silly, from sassy to classy, or from dashing to clashing. It's all about the fun and creativity so don't be shy! Store bought accessories are fine as well but this is about Art so once again, creativity will be handsomely rewarded...to your dog of course.

Directions (simple rules or things you will need):

  1. A dog
  2. A decorated leash, collar or hat
  3. A registration form which is available below and will be at the event for on-site registration.
  4. A smile
