FAQ:
🎨 One pet is a masterpiece—multiple pets is a challenge!
We know it’s tough to choose just one pet, but adding more than one to your canvas can be tricky and time-consuming. This option requires smaller detail and take more time. You may not finish during class. For the best experience and a stress-free class, we strongly recommend focusing on a single pet. Still want to add another? Select "Multiple Pets" at checkout. A $20 fee will be added to your ticket to cover additional sketching and take home paint. (2 Pets Max)

Union Street Festival
Union Street Festival in the historic Cow Hollow District has a long standing tradition of connecting the community together, and more than ever look to building back the neighborhood atmosphere of San Francisco. We believe in creating a space for diversity, unity and inclusion to allow for a safe gathering of local artists, musicians and families, while charting a path forward of sustainability and reducing the event’s overal carbon footprint.
Originally formed as a destination arts and crafts festival; the event has evolved over the years to include more experiences to create the fun and family-friendly atmosphere it’s known for today. Featuring artisan food and drinks from local vendors, top local musicians and continues to draw high-end local craft vendors. Come kick-off summer in the city at this year’s 2024 Union Street Festival, June 1st and 2nd on Union Street from Fillmore St. to Octavia St.
