observe, and create. This is an invitation to get curious, try something new, and step beyond the familiar
allowing the animals, environment, and shared human experience to inspire fresh work that is both deeply personal and expressive of your unique artistic voice.

Artists are invited to attend this immersive, self-guided experience. In the months that follow 2 pieces of visual arts will be displayed. Performances or partial performances will performed at the opening with a chance to display in another way for the remainder of the art show. This day is meant to spark new creative work while communing with animals, nature, and the people who come to experience them. Whether you are a painter, photographer, dancer, actor, musician, poet, sculptor, or any other type of artist, we would love for you to join us and show us what you create after a fantastic day at the zoo.

There is no cost to the artist for entry into the zoo. After lunch, artists will also enjoy a special
animal meet-and-greet. Artists are encouraged to arrive early and stay until the zoo closes—we
want this experience to be full of inspiration, curiosity, and excitement.
