Art Gone Wild LIVE Auction
Saturday, November 14 | 6–8 p.m.
Join us for the Rosamond Gifford Zoo’s American Association of Zookeepers annual auction of one-of-a-kind animal artwork. The in-person auction features artwork created by the zoo’s animal artists.
Tickets go on sale October 31.
- VIP Admission (6–8 p.m.): $35
- Advance Sale General Admission (6:30–8 p.m.): $8
- At-the-door General Admission (6–8 p.m.): $10
VIP ticket holders have exclusive access from 6–6:30 p.m. to view the artwork first and make buy-it-now purchases before general admission. VIP admission also includes 10 raffle tickets for a painting raffle.
The auction will feature artwork by the zoo’s animal artists, including Picasso paintings by elephant “miracle twins” Yaad and Tukada, red panda Spring, and many more. There will be 40+ auction items with buy-it-now prices, as well as secretly wrapped gallery items for purchase—the colors and artists are listed, but the artwork itself is a surprise.
Proceeds benefit animal care and enrichment, professional development for zoo keepers, and conservation efforts locally and around the world.
