Art exhibit to run for 6 weeks at zoo

The 16th annual World of the Wild art exhibition will run at Utah's Hogle Zoo through March 15.

The art show is housed in zoo's auditorium adjacent to the capuchin and golden lion tamarin exhibits and is free with regular admission during regular zoo hours.

The show represents all different media, from oils and pastels to photography and three-dimensional works of art.

Most of the artwork is for sale, with 30 percent of proceeds going toward the continuation of art programs at the zoo.

This art exhibition is also unique in that the Utah Arts Council selects 25 pieces to travel around the state as part of its Traveling Exhibits program.
