Art Paws celebrates canine independence 
at Artown
 
RENO, NV – As the nation celebrates its independence in the month of July, Art Paws asks not what animals can do for their country, but what their community can do for them. 
 
More than 100 local vendors have come together to celebrate canine independence days at Art Paws, presented by PetFolio Magazine. Let them experience the wind behind their fur. Savor the joy of gourmet everything in the company of friends. Imprint their immortal soul on canvas. Gaze into a crystal ball with the aid of a psychic. Think, therefore be. Dog. And proud of it.
 
Art Paws is the only canine-friendly event at the Artown festival. The event features products and services designed to uplift the canine mind, body, and soul – and help animals in need. This year voting at Art Paws will determine which three local animal-aid agencies will garner all the proceeds from the event.  In 2011, the US Wolf Refuge, Feline Rescue of Northern Nevada, and Boxers & Buddies received more than $6,000.
 
All proceeds from the event will benefit local non-profit pet organizations. 
The 16th annual Artown festival is a feast of more than 400 events produced by more than 100 cultural organizations and businesses in locations citywide during the month of July with major funding provided by the City of Reno. More information is available from: www.renoisartown.com.
