Naturally Inspired Paint Out

Each year, the Zoo invites a group of juried artists to make art “en plein air” (outdoors) at the Naturally Inspired Paint Out presented by The Great Frame Up Downtown. This signature Zoo event is a great opportunity to showcase your talents in front of thousands of Zoo patrons while also supporting the Zoo’s mission of animal conservation. ​

During this annual event, artists transform a blank canvas or a hunk of clay into a truly extraordinary work of art inspired by the natural world, right here at the Indianapolis Zoo.
