Naturally Inspired Paint Out

INFO

The Indianapolis Zoo will host its 23rd Annual Naturally Inspired Paint Out, a live en plein air event. Zoo visitors can watch artists create art in real time. A group of distinguished jurors will select 18 artists based on creativity, integrity of work and sensitivity to and understanding of the subject. Artists selected to participate will receive a $100 stipend to cover material costs and supplies.

The Naturally Inspired Paint Out is an opportunity for artists to gain professional exposure while supporting the Zoo’s important conservation and education goals. In addition to showcasing their work to tens of thousands of Zoo members and guests at the Naturally Inspired Art Show, the artists’ work will be featured in the Indianapolis Zoo Member eNews, with a circulation of more than 400,000 in Indiana and beyond.

Artist applications are due by 5pm on Thursday, February 27, 2025. Submit your application here.
