The participating artists include past year favorites and some inspiring new talent to make this year's pack really stand out! Boonton Arts includes younger artists too, with more than 60 sculptures created by local elementary and high school students.Be sure to visit our one of a kind downtown to enjoy these incredible sculptures!

All dog sculptures are available for adoption at Boonton Arts Etsy page,etsy.com/shop/BoontonArts, for a donation benefiting Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter, Eleventh Hour Rescue, local schools, and future art projects in the community.
