COAL VALLEY, ILLINOIS (February 26, 2024) — Tired of the same old evening plans? Looking to get WILD? Get creative and paint some animals! Oh, and there's wine! What's not to like?

Choose from your favorite wine, nibble on hors d'oeuvres, and learn to paint animals during Wine and Design. All skill levels are welcome! You don't have to be an artist to enjoy learning. Join us on Friday, April 5, 6:30-8:30PM, to please your palate while using your palette!

Proceeds will go toward the Zoo Recovery Fund to help with the many repairs needed after the severe damage from the winter snow storms. As the snow leopard habitat was the most impacted, we will be painting a snow leopard to show our resiliency and support for all the Zoo cats that were impacted by the damage.

For adults age 21 and over, the cost is just $32 for Zoo Members and $40 for Non-members. All art supplies, hors d'oeuvres, wine and animal inspiration are included.
