In its 10th milestone year, Pawcasso will take place at St. Anthony of Padua Parish Hall at 436 Port Reading Avenue, Port Reading, NJ, 07064. Art auction preview begins at 6:00 PM and the auction start time is 7:00 PM. Admission is $15.00 per person or $25.00 per couple.

The event will feature acoustic music by Bob Greiza, of ...nothing follows, during the pre-auction.

Introduced ten-years-ago by Angel P.A.W.S. volunteer, Cindi Baltzer, the fundraiser has become widely recognized for its Pawcassos - framed paw-printed pieces of art created by Angel P.A.W.S.’ shelter animals. Also participating this year will be kittens from Angel P.A.W.S.’ flagship shelter, Rahway Kitty Hall, New Jersey’s first cat café, located in Rahway, NJ. Prior years’ Pawcasso painters included the organization’s shelter cats, kittens, and dogs, all once Angel P.A.W.S. residents themselves. Their artwork created astounding bidding wars fetching generous donations for the care of Angel P.A.W.S.’ potential adoptees. Marlin Art will provide premium art, sports and music memorabilia. Raffle baskets and door prizes will be made available. Additionally, Pawcasso will be going LIVE, via Facebook LIVE at Facebook.com/angelpawspets, throughout the evening. Please note that online bidding will not be taking place during this time.

The event will include hors d’oeuvres, cheese, beverages, coffee, and dessert. Acceptable forms of payment in advance and at the door are cash or check made payable to: Angel P.A.W.S.
