The Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine is partnering with the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette to co-sponsor the second annual Art, Bark ‘n Brew. This cleverly named event will take place on Saturday, May 11, 2019, from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., on the art museum’s parking lot and adjacent lawn at 102 S. 10th Street in Lafayette.

Art, Bark ‘n Brew is designed as a family- and dog-friendly event. This year’s version will be larger than last year’s, and will feature three food trucks, as well as local craft beer by Thieme & Wagner Brewery. Fun, free activities and prize drawings for people of all ages and their pets will be featured as well. New this year is a judged art show for young artists in grades K-12, conducted in partnership with the Greater Lafayette Kennel Club. The theme of the show is “Dogs with Jobs.” Winning entries will be displayed at the event.

Additionally, Natalie’s Second Chance and Pawswap of Greater Lafayette will be bringing some of their adoptable dogs to the Art, Bark ‘n Brew.

Lucy’s Story

When an eight-year-old shepherd-mix dog named Lucy was injured after tragically getting struck by a car, co-parents Matt and Gretchen Walker were told that she would likely never walk again. That was over three years ago, in May of 2021. The Walkers, of Brookston, Indiana, had raised Lucy since she was a puppy, and knew that her life was nothing short of worth fighting for. “If she was willing to live, I was willing to do whatever it took,” Matt said as he recounted the story recently.
