Dog Days of Sherman Events

Want even more fun with Dog Days of Sherman? Join us for these doggo-related events and summer programs!
Join Sherman Library & Gardens for its annual Summer Art Installation. This year, we let the dogs out with the larger-than-life sculptures by internationally renowned mixed-media artist, Elizabeth Laul Healey.
Elizabeth hails from Laguna Beach and Corona del Mar. She has fabricated more than 250 of these incredible sculptures. Sherman is very fortunate to have six of her most popular pieces to share with our guests. Come and visit the open-air art exhibit during the Dog Days of Sherman. The exhibit runs May 16 through September 7 and is free with regular garden admission.
