Arty Farty Paws Party

Sunday 29 March | 10am – 12pm
Haig Park, Braddon (top of Mort Street)

Unleash your creative side at the Haig Park Arty Farty Paws Party! This March we’re paw-tnering with UPSTAGEING Canberra to celebrate creativity no matter your age. From Pawcasso to Warhowl, Barkhoven to David Bow-wowie, we’re bringing the bo-ho to your BFF’s favourite playdate in the park.

Why get arty farty? Because it’s good for you! Did you know that two or more hours of creative activity per week = better health. That’s almost as good as time with your pooch! So, join us for a double dose of pawsitivity.

  • Here’s what’s unveiling in the park:
  • Pup-up Studio: Get arty and crafty with our pup-inspired activities. From canine haiku to pawtraits in the park, there’s something for everyone!
  • Paw-trait Gallery: Come dressed in boho or use our furbulous prop box - then strike a pawse for the puparazzi at our photo gallery!
  • Arty grooves: Our resident muse Wayne Kelly will play tunes designed to stir your creative vibes.
  • Haig Park Markets: While you’re getting arty farty, the Haig Park Markets will be in full swing – so you can grab a coffee, shop and stroll.


We can’t wait to see your Mutisse or Salvadog Dali at the Arty Farty Paws Party!
