Gilbert’s Riparian Preserve is hosting a unique event this month—an artistic dog painting experience! The “Puppy Paint Party” invites local canine companions and their owners to explore creativity in an outdoor art class. Using an innovative technique involving peanut butter and cellophane, dogs will become artists as they create unique masterpieces guided by treats and their natural curiosity.
The event promises to be a bonding experience for pets and owners, offering a chance to take home an original artwork created by their four-legged friend.
A Creative Morning for Dog Lovers
This event combines the natural beauty of the Riparian Preserve with pet ownership, creating a creative morning activity for dog lovers of all ages. Participants will see their dogs’ artistic talents emerge as the animals interact with specially designed painting materials.
The peanut butter serves as an incentive that guides dogs to create colorful patterns across the canvas while their humans assist in the creative process. Local organizers expect spots to fill quickly, so don’t miss out on this community gathering that celebrates both pets and artistic expression.
Event Location: Riparian Preserve

Known for its walking trails, wildlife habitats, and peaceful environment, the preserve provides an ideal setting for this creative canine activity. The specific meeting location within the preserve will be clearly marked with signage directing participants to the designated painting area, where supplies and instruction will be provided by event organizers.
