Bark and Bass hosts a family friendly community event supporting dog adoption, foster families and the organizations that make it all possible. They are partnering with Vegas Pet Rescue Project to show some adoptable pups at this fun dog and kid friendly Halloween themed get together.

Take your pups dressed up for doggy trick or treating and a costume contest! Grab a table and order food and drinks while earning tickets to enter a raffle. Spend a little time dancing to live DJ's. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find the newest member of your family.

There's a large outdoor patio and a big area surrounding it for dogs to enjoy.

The Civic Center Gallery opens with "Family Album," a collection of works examining the ways in which personal and collective histories are constructed through the visual language of family photographs.

Addressing physical, political and emotional aspects of home, including segregation, displacement and belonging in today’s American neighborhoods, the artists draw directly from their personal archives in some instances, or in others re-imagine the conventions of the family snapshot.

More info at "Get Tickets." It runs through January 9. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Thursday, closed holidays.
