One artist of AWA’s National Online Juried Show, Lifting the Sky: Elevating the Works of American Women Artists, will have a unique opportunity to showcase her artwork in an exhibition. This artist will be selected by the Phoenix Zoo Arts Committee.
The winner’s artwork will be exhibited in the Savanna Gallery, which is located in the Savanna Grill. The gallery is a modern, light-filled facility that attracts high traffic for the Zoo. Artwork will be displayed in one of the three exhibit areas: the Grand Wall, the Windows Wall, and the Café Wall.
