Grab a leash and bring your dog out to Bark 4 Art from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 27, in Jacksonville.

The event, hosted by Pawsitive Healing-Veterinary Rehabilitation, helps to support arts education programs in Duval and St. Johns counties. Pawsitive Healing uses acupuncture and alternative medicine in addition to traditional veterinary practices to improve pets’ health and well-being.

Tails will be wagging with the following fun activities:
■ There will be drawings at 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. for pet and people treats
■ Artist Anna Washington will demonstrate how pet portraits and paintings are done
■ Pictures of you with your pet by a professional photographer. Tarrah Wellington Photography will be taking photographs to share on social media.
■ Agility course
■ JaxHorizon Advanced Imaging, Crosswinds Veterinary and other pet service providers will be on hand to answer questions
■ Tours of Pawsitive Healing
■ Light refreshments provided by Sawgrass Events

“It is an absolute honor to have the opportunity to collaborate with the Cultural Center of Ponte Vedra Beach on a community-driven project that will benefit our youth’s exposure to arts and culture,” said Dr. Carla Rodrigues, of Pawsitive Healing-Veterinary Rehabilitation.

CCPVB President and Executive Director Donna Guzzo said, “Partnering with Pawsitive Healing Clinic has been phenomenal to have visibility in the San Marco area of Duval County as we prepare to expand more services to the Jacksonville area. We have the clientele that can benefit from Dr. Rodriguez’s expertise as their pets get older or need alternative options. We are expecting folks from Duval and St. Johns to attend the event. It will be a family-pet-fun atmosphere to connect, engage and experience. Our mission is to bring the arts to our community. This is exactly what we are doing. Success is imminent!”
