Paint Your Pet with Santa Cruz SPCA

In connection to our upcoming exhibition HOWL: The Art & History of Pets, this fun-filled event combines art, animals, and philanthropy, all in one.

Unleash your inner artist as you paint a portrait of your beloved pet, guided by MAH staff member Shanti Nagwani, who will help bring your furry friend to life on canvas. Whether it’s your cat, dog, or any other pet, you’ll leave with a custom masterpiece to cherish forever.

But that's not all! You’ll also have the chance to meet and greet adorable adoptable dogs from the SCSPCA. In addition to the painting and meet-and-greet, a silent auction will be held, featuring amazing items and experiences donated by local businesses and supporters. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Santa Cruz SPCA, helping to provide care and support for animals in need.

All materials will be provided, just bring a reference photo of your pet.

Drinks will be available for purchase at Front & Cooper.
