FOR ARTISTS: We will be accepting artwork submission online for our 2020 show October 1, 2019 – January 5, 2020. Add yourself to the mailing list below if you are not already getting our emails.
This show was started to provide Utah artists an opportunity to display their works of wildlife and “wildnature” in a setting complementary to their work. This show has grown to be one of the best venues in Utah for viewing wildlife art.
The 2019 poster along with past posters can be purchase online. All the money raised from the posters will go to support Zoo art programs. The poster for the 2019 show features the Zoo’s newest giraffe, Georgetta, and was created by Robyn Olsen.
The juror for the 2019 show was Annastasia Copeland-Rynders. Annastasia is a designer and artist from Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated with a B.F.A. in Printmaking and a B.S. in Environmental and Sustainability Studies from the University of Utah. She currently owns her own printmaking and design studio in Cottonwood Heights Utah, and designs for various cultural institutions, agencies, and businesses locally and nationally. Annastasia’s passion for nature and wildlife is the driving force behind her printmaking and creative expression.
