Join the New York Adventure Club for an exclusive after-hours pastel painting workshop at the AKC Museum of the Dog! Make a stunning work of art to gift to a loved one this holiday season.

Led by award-winning artist Karen Miura and her dog, Lucy, our fun and relaxed artistic experience will include:

• Private access to the AKC Museum after the doors close to the public

• A step-by-step demonstration on pastel painting dogs — bring a photo of your pet, or use Lucy as your muse!

• A chance afterward to play with Lucy and browse the museum’s collection that commemorates, signifies, and celebrates the human-canine relationship through fine art and artifacts, and dynamic exhibits and activities

• An opportunity to visit the museum's gift shop before heading out

All painting supplies will be provided, and all art can be taken home!
