Come celebrate World Aminal Day, October 4th, at Newcastle Foreshore as bodypainters from across Australia come together for the first annual Paws and Claws Bodypainting Competition. Watch as our talented artists literally transform models into animal inspired designs and better still, you can help vote for the People's Choice Award.
As a part of The Mattara Festival's Pet Day, there is also plenty of exciting entertainment
for the whole family, including the Petstock
Pet Parade for the four-legged members of
the family.
The event will help raise awareness of important animal rights issues and support
the valuable work of organisations such as 'Animals Australia'.
Painting begins at 10.00am and the winners will be announced at four in the afternoon, along with a parade of all the amazing artworks. The event is free to attend and a great family day out.
