Kalamazoo Gazette: It was a Dog Day in August

The Kalamazoo Gazette reports that the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts opened its doors Aug. 18 not only to the usual patrons but to their four-legged friends as well. For the first time, dogs were allowed to enter the building and accompany their owners everywhere except the galleries. There were activities for dog owners to enjoy, including make-and-take bandanas and dog photographs. Hot dogs were served in the courtyard.

Sara Wick, a docent with the museum, volunteered to hold people’s dogs while they viewed the art exhibits. “I didn’t know this was in our job description,” Wick quipped. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to future programming at the KIA.
