Celebrate Vero’s Friday Gallery Stroll at an exhibit of art by notable Vero Beach painters and ape artists from Save the Chimps! These interspecies collaborations will be on sale just in time for the holidays. Proceeds from this truly wild art benefit Save the Chimps sanctuary in Fort Pierce. See you at Raw Space on Old Dixie Highway on December 5!“We always welcome diverse artists, but this marks our first time to feature art by chimpanzees,” says Raw Space Gallery manager Gabriela Hernandez.
Painting is one of many enrichment activities offered at Save the Chimps, a 150-acre refuge providing lifetime care to over 200 chimpanzees retired from research labs, the entertainment industry or the exotic pet trade.
Ms. Hernandez curated the exhibit with local artists Tim Sanchez, Xaque Gruber, Barry Shapiro, Christina Bates, and Shotsi Lajoie, all of whom visited the sanctuary.
Art-inclined chimpanzees painted acrylic-on-canvas abstracts, which the human artists used as models for their own abstract works. This collaborative process resulted in six unique large-scale adjoined pieces, the sales of which benefit Save the Chimps.
