Adopt a pet at an art gallery? You’ll actually be able to do that in Modesto
Come for the art, leave with a fuzzy friend. That’s the plan those at the Mistlin Gallery have in mind for this month’s Third Thursday Art Walk in downtown Modesto.
An exhibit featuring “Pets and Portraits” continues at the gallery and they’ll have pets available for adoption during the art walk. It’s among the top entertainment events planned for the Modesto region from Dec. 10-16.
