To mark International Dog Day, you’re invited to bring your dog to Norman Lindsay Gallery to discover the grounds and enjoy a range of fun activities.

Canines can channel their inner artist with dog paw painting and sit in a photo booth dressed like an artist.

There will be a stick and ball library and many other dog-related activities including displays from Springwood Dog Training club.

There will also be a Dogs Day Out Talent competition starting at 1pm with prizes from DOGUE – Australia’s leading dog boutique brand. Includes:

  • Best Dressed / Fancy Dress: Turn the spotlight on your dog’s fashion sense in this stylish contest.
  • Lookalikes (Dog and Owner): Celebrate the uncanny resemblance between you and your dog in this fun competition.
  • Best Hairdo (Grooming): Does your dog have a hairdo that turns heads? Show off their grooming in this category.

Pre-pack a picnic to enjoy in the beautiful grounds with your pooch or purchase something tasty from the food stalls.

Special discounted ceramic dog and cat bowls with printed images of Norman Lindsay’s delightful drawings available from $35.
