These artists have often traveled the world to portray the animals in their natural habitats. From swinging spider monkeys of the Central American rain forests to growling Alaskan grizzlies and lounging African lions this thrilling display will take you to the wilderness without the need of a Safari guide. The exhibit will open September 7th, and continue through November 1st.
In the adjacent Community Gallery at 48 Natoma, the display will showcase art from some very unusual artists. For the second year at this time, paintings from the Folsom Zoo Sanctuary animals will be shown from September 7 to October 31. Non-toxic paints were given to the animals that actually seem to enjoy the painting experience; swiping their paws and rolling around in pleasure on the canvasses. This is your chance to have a masterpiece painted by a mountain lion, tiger, bear, raccoon, monkey or one of the many other animal artists in residence at the zoo. These unique abstract pieces will be offered for sale with benefits supporting the zoo.
The public is invited to celebrate both exhibits at the free opening reception on Friday, September 7th, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, with refreshments, wine and live music.
The Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom is managed by the Folsom Parks and Recreation Department and showcases art by regional and national professional artists, area museum collections and traveling exhibitions; offering high quality original art exhibits that the community may otherwise not have an opportunity to experience. The gallery is free and open to the public and art is available for purchase. Hours are Monday through Friday from 9-5, with additional hours Thursday nights from 6-8pm. Free tours can be arranged by appointment. For more information contact Cindy Abraham, (916) 355-7285, or cabraham@folsom.ca.us.
