Paws-N-Tails Mosaic Event

Please Help Create Paws-N-Tails Mosaic on November 23rd

In keeping with its spirit of inclusiveness and community involvement, Unity Animal Hospital invites the public, and their pets, to participate in the creation of a mural designed by prominent Media mosaic artist, Claire Brill. The event will be held on Saturday, November 23rd, from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. in the Media Community Center, 301 N. Jackson Street, Media.

Ms. Brill has designed Paws-N-Tails, a 4-foot x 20-foot mural comprised of clay paw prints of the public’s own animals, along with their names, surrounded by mosaic tiles patterned to look like animal tails. Anyone interested in having a pet’s paw print included in the artwork may bring the animal to the event on November 23rd and have the print set in clay for a charge of $100 per animal. For an additional $50, participants will receive a second paw print of their pet to take home. All dogs attending the event must be leashed, and all cats and other animals must be in secure carriers.  Participants may pre-pay for their paw prints at Eventbrite.com or may pay at the event.

The Paws-N-Tails mural will be an ongoing project, and the finished artwork will be prominently displayed on a wall of Unity’s reception area. Any funds raised for the project in excess of the artist’s fee will be donated to Unity’s Animal Retention Fund, which is being established to offset the costs of emergency treatment for animals whose owners have financial need.

The November 23rd event will also allow the public to learn more about Unity Animal Hospital, meet the veterinarians, ask questions, and sign up to become members.
