Memphis Zoo: Art For Elephants 2021

Press release from the Memphis Zoo:

August 10, 2021

Please join the Memphis Zoo in celebrating our 10th annual Art for Elephants fundraiser! This event raises money for the conservation group Elephants for Africa. Elephants for Africa is in the Makgadikgadi Pans region of Botswana, which is one of the last major strongholds for elephants in Africa. Elephants for Africa’s primary focus is understanding the needs of elephants, as well as the needs of the local communities to promote human-elephant coexistence.

Art for Elephants will begin at 9:00 am in front of the elephant exhibit in the African Veldt. Our elephant herd will be painting canvases throughout the day that will be auctioned off to raise money for their friends in Africa! There is a silent auction with many beautiful animal paintings as well as other unique items you can bid on. We will also be selling this year’s Art for Elephants t-shirt that you can purchase at the event for $20. All proceeds from this event will go directly towards African elephant conservation.
