The North Hills Art Center is going to the dogs — and the cats, gerbils, snakes and other critters people keep as pets.
A juried animal-themed art show to benefit local animal rescue groups kick off on Saturday, March 9 with a grand opening from 7 to 9 p.m.
The art, which will be on display through April 5, can be viewed weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m.
On two Saturdays during the show’s run, special animal-themed activities will be held.
• An “Animal Art Day” featuring three pet friendly art activities is scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. on March 16.
• A “Pet Portrait” demonstration by artist Kim Freithaler will be held at 1 p.m. on March 23.
The Art Center is located at 3432 Babcock Boulevard in Ross Township.
