Painting with a Monkey!
Painting With A Monkey! What?! Are you Serious?!?
Art Gone Wild Show Information:
From gorillas to giraffes, monkeys, stingrays, sea lions and more, animal art is created using a wild palette at the Oklahoma City Zoo. The seventh annual “Art Gone Wild” animal art show will be held at the Myriad Gardens from August 6-31, 2016. The show features original pieces of art created by the Zoo’s own talented animal artists made especially for the show (with some help from their care givers & Pinot's Palette). Techniques vary by animal. Some animals enjoy using paint brushes while others choose to paint with their trunks, paws and even noses! Art by Zoo animals is safe and nontoxic, and part of the animal enrichment process of providing a stimulating environment which addresses an animal’s social, psychological and physical needs. The exhibition gives the public an opportunity to view and purchase these unique works of art, with all net proceeds benefiting the Zoo’s local conservation initiatives. The exhibition will be on display in the Crystal Bridge south lobby during normal operating hours (Monday-Saturday from 9a.m.-5p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m.-5 p.m.).
