Wild art at Austin Zoo Revue through May 9
S
By Laurel Robertson
ome of the most unusual animals you’ll ever see—a patchwork pig, a landscape llama, a bejeweled rooster, an accordion armadillo—are at The Austin Zoo through May 9. Even though upkeep on these amazing animals is low (they don’t need food or shelter), the Zoo will be sending them home with the highest bidders following a Gala in their honor on the evening of May 10. Austin Zoo Revue 2014 is a fanciful new fundraiser for the non-profit Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary that gives local artists, amateur and professional, a blank canvas in the form of a fibreglass animal to interpret in their wildest imagination. Last summer, a dozen artists were chosen from scores of applicants by prominent painter and printmaker Leon-
ard Lehrer and given different fibreglass animal forms with which to “go wild.” The artistic results were premiered at the Zoo in February and have been on display for Zoo patrons to view and vote for their favorites. Winning entries will be announced at a Gala held on the Zoo grounds the evening of May 10. A People’s Choice award will be chosen by vote of Zoo visitors; a Zookeepers Award will be selected by the Austin Zoo staff; a Best of Show award will be determined by show juror Leonard Lehrer. After a dinner catered by Gourmet Gals Catering, served with local beer, wine and spirits, a Live Auction will offer Gala guests chances to bid on the art animals and other treasures such as: a week at Outpost Wilderness Adventure See ZOO REVUE, page 2
