It used to be Paint Your Pup…but now it’s Paint Your Pet!
All of you cat, rooster, and horse lovers—this is your moment. Whether your best friend is furry, feathered, or scaly, we can help you turn them into a work of art.
How It Works
Upon signing up, you’ll submit a photo of your pet, which will be replicated onto a 16×20 canvas. An artist will guide you through the process of painting your pet’s portrait, with no prior painting experience required.
All materials will be provided, and the session will be limited to 40 participants. This workshop promises a fun outing with family and friends—making it a perfect gift for any animal lover.

About Those Banners
Thanks to all of the participants in the previous Paint Your Pet sessions, the Fitzsimmons Family Dog Parks are now all decorated with banners featuring painted pups. So while we aren’t planning another big banner reveal for this year’s Paint Your Pet, we would still like to photograph your finished canvas at the end of your session to have new art to choose from as banners need replaced in the future, or if a new location is identified.
Save the Date
FidoFest will be on Saturday, May 15th, 2027 at Garden Park in Warwood (10am-3pm).
Create a Painting From a Photo of Your Choice
The photo you choose should feature your pet prominently and be in portrait orientation (more tall than wide). Only one pet should be featured in your photo. If you have any questions, reach out to us at info@wheelingheritage.org.
