The Zoo will be holding its 15th annual art exhibit February 8 - April 6, 2008. This exhibit was started to provide Utah artists an opportunity to display their works of wildlife and "wildnature" in a setting complimentary to their work. This show has grown to be one of the best venues in Utah for viewing wildlife and nature art. Make plans now to submit art work for the next show. Check the calendar to the right for important dates. |
