Party for the Planet Recycled Art Sculpture Contest

All Ages Welcome

Calling all artists! After last year’s great participation from the community, Miller Park Zoo will once again host the Recycled Art Sculpture Contest. The idea is to use recycled materials (plastic containers, paper, wood, etc.) to build an art sculpture. We are asking that the theme for your sculpture be an animal form of your choice! There will also be a prize (TBD) for four age brackets. Bring your sculpture to the Zoo no later than Friday, April 24th (9:30-4:30PM).

The sculptures will be voted on by the visiting guests of Miller Park Zoo on April 25.

All artist entries must be pre-registered.

Please email Silvia Schuh at sschuh@cityblm.org to register or for more information.

Date: Saturday, April 25

Time: 10:00AM-4:00PM

Fee: Free to participate
