Ever wonder how a dog like Charity sees our building? We wondered too and invited some of our dog friends in for their own private tours. We will be featuring some of those tours at The ART of the Dog this year and since you normally only get to see the first floor, we’re going to visit portions of every floor so you can get a sense of what we offer in the heart of downtown to our nonprofit tenants.

We are grateful to be able to continue to serve Frederick during this time. Our partners have gotten pretty creative over the past few weeks in order to meet the needs of their own clients and we have invested in the additional technology they need as we’ve all adjusted to the new “normal.” We are making building and safety upgrades to plan for the day when we welcome visitors regularly back into our building and we are supporting the professional development of board members and staff to move their organizations forward. We know that our work spaces are going to be changing and we want to be flexible in changing with them. On a personal note, we have also stocked up on toilet paper and hand sanitizer…because we all know how important those are!

The ART of the Dog has always been about sharing the history of our building, introducing you to our services in the community and encouraging you to get to know some of the people who make it all happen. 2020 is no different…but we have built in a little bit more mayhem (and a children’s coloring contest…because, why not?)
