The annual “Paint Your Pup” event organized by Wheeling Heritage is getting a fresh twist.

The workshop will be held on Jan. 10, 2026, at the Wheeling Artisan Center, 1400 Main St., Wheeling. Participants can choose from a morning session (10 a.m.-1 p.m.) or an afternoon session (2-5 p.m.), with each session limited to 30 participants.
