*** Calendar Advisory ***A New Breed of Art: Creations by Woodland Park Zoo’s Animals
WHAT: The Puget Sound Chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) debuts "A New Breed of Art: Creations by Woodland Park Zoo’s Animals" at Art/Not Terminal Gallery. The fundraiser marks the first-ever, non-human art show in Seattle.
The art show will consist of approximately 20 pieces of artwork painted by the zoo’s talented elephants and orangutans and several authentic animal footprints.
A wine/cheese reception will be held on opening night with wine presented by PengWine. Zookeepers will attend opening night to discuss the painting techniques of the animals and how painting is a part of the zoo’s enrichment program to help keep the animals physically and mentally stimulated, and help encourage the animals’ creative side.
All proceeds will help benefit the 2009 combined conferences of AAZK and the International Congress of Zoo Keepers. Art/Not Terminal Gallery has generously waived all commission fees for the show.
WHEN: Opening night: Saturday, February 7, 7-10 p.m.
Art show: February 7-March 5
