Friends of UW Hospital and Clinics and Henry Vilas Zoological Society are partnering to present "Art Zoobilee," a public art display and auction event.

The art display will consist of life-size and small fiberglass zoo animal sculptures painted or decorated by local artists. The animals will be displayed throughout the zoo in Summer 2010. The art will be sold at a live and silent auction event in October, 2010. Proceeds from the event will be split evenly to benefit American Family Children's Hospital and Henry Vilas Zoological Society.
