UNC Dog Parade; by Brushes with Life artists

The UNC Brushes with Life Arts program and UNC PAWS (Peer Assisted Wellness Services) recovery and rehabilitation programs at the UNC Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health will collaborate to sponsor a Dog Parade fundraising event.

Brushes with Life artists will paint individual
uniquely painted fiberglass dog sculptures which will be displayed around the UNC hospital campus, Farm at Penny Lane, the Center’s fundraising gala November 12th and the local community at large.

This vibrant and colorful event will celebrate the talent of our mental health community. Local artists will mentor Brushes with Life artists to complete the project.

The dogs will be auctioned with proceeds benefitting the UNC Brushes with Life and UNC PAWS programs. https://www.facebook.com/Dog-Parade-1506120589678199/?fref=ts
