Zooinitas Takes You On A Safari To Talk To the Animals
Roaring with animal art, the Zooinitas exhibit will take the
public on a safari into the jungles of Encinitas were art reigns supreme. At an
opening reception on July 26, 2014, 1-4 pm at the Encinitas Library, 540
Cornish Dr., begin your tour into a collection of wild and unusual animals and
enter if you dare, to be greeted by a magnificent life-size wooden lion name
“Aldimere” created by artist Thomas Thomas.
“This is a celebration of our area's lively art scene, with a particular focus
on art experiences that encouraged everyone to get involved, connect, and
gather, possibilities seem endless and imagination has no limits”.
The afternoon will provide support for the Rancho Coastal
Humane Society (RCHS), animal Safehouse Program, a safety net for the
pets of domestic violence victims. Safehouse is also a lifeline for veterans,
senior citizens, accident victims, and…most recently…victims of the
fires.
The event has something for all ages and explores new techniques and celebrated self-expression by exceptionally talented artists. The original artworks
truly represent the animal world in a natural environment and will be available
for sale. Free to the public; enjoy music by Second Cousin, and
refreshments as you take a tour into the virtual art studios of three artists, Joan Hansen, Gary Johnson
and Linda Luisi who will be creating art, just in time for the silent auction.
“Instead of spending thousands of dollars to travel to exotic places to see
wildlife, Zoonitas will bring images of these unique animals to you”.
You can show your support by dropping a small toy into the “Toys
for Pups” drop box out front, the day of the reception, browse an array of auction
items and show your support by learning about the RCHS programs.
What image does “stalk” inspire in your mind as you start your tour and explore with us.
