To mark International Dog Day, join the Norman Lindsay Gallery's first ever Dog Day Out, where well-behaved dogs on leads can explore the grounds and enjoy a pawsome range of activities.
Bring your dog to Norman Lindsay Gallery (on the lower slopes of the Blue Mountains) to discover the grounds and enjoy a range of fun activities for all to enjoy.

There will be a stick library, stalls, entertainment and a photographer onsite to capture all of the fun.
Fun prizes for ”Best Dressed Dog” and ”Best Dressed Pair” (pups and parent) on offer.
Pre-pack a picnic to enjoy in the beautiful grounds with your pooch or purchase something tasty from the BBQ.
Animals are a common theme in the paintings of Norman Lindsay so be sure to browse the Wagging Tails exhibition on the day.
Lindsay’s earliest subjects were family, friends and animals at Lisnacrieve, the Lindsay home in Creswick, Victoria. The family had fowl, ducks, cats and dogs which provided endless subject matter for his pencil.
Even as a child he detested copying and always told enquiring adults that his drawing was done “out of my head’. The only known exception is Head of a Dog (1889) at age ten, which won first prize of two shillings and sixpence at the local flower show. This was his first fee for a drawing.
