Tails on the Trail—
A Celebration of Dogs & Art

Tails on the Trail: A Celebration of Dogs and Art in Elmwood is a free, family-friendly community event celebrating art, creativity, dogs, and neighborhood connection.

Hosted at Elmwoof Dog Park, the event invites families to enjoy hands-on art activities, celebrate their four-legged family members, and explore the Tiny Gallery Trail’s special Dogs exhibit, featuring artists who celebrate the unique bond between people and their dogs.

In Oak Cliff, every dog has a story—and so does every person who loves one. From greeting us at the door to joining us on neighborhood walks, dogs become cherished members of our families and communities. The Dogs exhibit brings these meaningful relationships to life through the work of artists, transforming the Tiny Gallery Trail into an outdoor art experience that reflects the people, pets, and stories of our neighborhood.

Join us this October! Bring your family, bring your best friend, and celebrate the art of being part of a community.
