They say that every dog has it’s day, but in Boonton they get the whole summer! During the Boonton Arts Dog Days of Summer, over 120 dog and cat sculptures will be on exhibit up and down the entire length of Main Street. This year’s designs are as interesting and diverse as the artists who created them. The participating artists include past year favorites and some inspiring new talent to make this year’s pack really something to see! Boonton Arts includes younger artists too, with more than 80 sculptures created by local elementary and high school students. Be sure to visit our one of a kind downtown to enjoy these incredible sculptures!

Boonton Arts Dog Days of Summer kicks off on May 4th at 5:30pm, with a “leash cutting” in front of the Dog Days of Summer mural located at Church and Main Street by Mayor Matt DiLauri. The opening coincides with Boonton’s First Fridays, featuring receptions at Boonton’s art galleries, live music, unique independent shops and eclectic dining.

All dog sculptures will be available for adoption at the Boonton Arts Etsy page for a donation benefiting Northstar Rescue, Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter, Eleventh Hour Rescue, local schools, and future art projects in the community.
