Art After Hours
August 31, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Art After Hours: Immerse yourself in art and the company of dogs at this FREE series of evening events! Stroll the zoo sipping on drink specials from Zoo Brew Beer Garden and enjoy a keeper chat at our bison exhibit (6:30 PM). Take in the work of local community artists along with our ongoing exhibit, Project Holocene, which features large, illuminated mixed media paintings of species under the threat of extinction, created by artist Russell Ronat.
Guests attending Art After Hours do not need to register. If you are visiting with a dog, please see instructions below:
Visiting with your Dog: All guests visiting the zoo with a furry friend must complete an online application and submit required documents and reserve a free dog ticket before visiting the zoo. You must upload a copy of your most recent veterinary visit, including proof of vaccine and heartworm test here. All items will be required in order for you to attend Art after Dark with a dog.
Since this is an evening event, our indoor buildings will be closed and many animals will be sleeping or unavailable for viewing.
