Cincinnati Zoo Silent Auction 2023

Amazing experiences and one-of-a-kind artwork created by some of your favorite Cincinnati Zoo residents. All proceeds benefit the Cincinnati Zoo and the over 30 global conservation projects the zoo helps support. All artwork will come with a certificate of authenticity. All paint is non-toxic.

The painting sessions are a form of enrichment for the animals. Enrichment is an important part of the daily care we provide for our animals. Enrichment is anything the zookeepers add to the animals’ environments to stimulate their senses and elicit natural behaviors such as foraging, exploration, hunting, problem-solving, and even play.

The mission and vision of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is dedicated to creating adventure, conveying knowledge, conserving nature, and serving the community.

With the addition of our fourth pillar to our Mission Statement, Serving Community, we recognize the responsibility to partner with diverse and economically challenged communities in our daily work.
