Be a Patron for Playtime!
All proceeds from this art sale go toward the Animal Enrichment Program at Knoxville Zoo. Enrichment is anything that provides extra stimulation for the animals, invokes problem-solving skills, and encourages natural behaviors. It can be as simple as new types of food or smells to challenging climbing structures or puzzles to solve. These activities encourage the animals to act more like their counterparts in the wild. Knoxville Zoo's Art Sale is the main source of funding for purchasing extra items for our animals including toys like Boomer Balls and Kongs as well as special sensory and food treats.
