A Dog Day Out is a dog-friendly art event that celebrates the pooch in contemporary art, life and culture.

A team of artists, writers and photographers will work together to create amazing images of your dogs. You can choose to book in for a pet photography session with Lizz Mackenzie, or grab a coveted spot to have your dog sketched by artist Peter Lankas. Meanwhile, listen to musician Tony Jozef howling out a few of your favourite dog tunes on the MAC yapang terrace. Or choose a DIY option and photograph your canine companion in front of a hand-painted William Dobell inspired backdrop.

Feeling creative? Book in for a pet portrait painting and drawing workshop with artist Ileana Clarke, or settle down to write about your pet with Helen Hopcroft.

Bring your dog (on lead) and a picnic and enjoy a day in the beautiful grounds of MAC yapang.
