Roosevelt Park Zoo & the Greater Minot Zoological Society are proud to bring the 1st annual Wild At
Art gala and fundraiser to Minot. Wild At Art is a collaborative event between the Greater Minot
Zoological Society and artists in an effort to raise funds for our Minot Roosevelt Park Zoo while
providing a platform for local artists to showcase their work. The evening will boast an array of
artistic styles. Art pieces will be offered at both a silent and live auction. Entertainment will
include live art by Wendy Voeller, as she creates a masterpiece through the course of the evening
as you enjoy dinner, drinks, and auctions. Guest speakers will be some of the Zoo’s very own
zookeepers!
Throughout the years our beloved Zoo has seen immense change and growth and continues to be
ever evolving, with big projects in the near future. Recognizing the coming needs, GMZS wanted to
create a one-of-a-kind event that people will continue to support for years to come.
Wild At Art committee chair, Amanda Manuwal said, “We wanted to oƯer something more upscale
and totally diƯerent than anything else we have done in the past. One of our board members came
to us with the idea of an art gala/fundraiser, and we knew this was the event we had been looking
for and the wheels started turning. We have desired to host a collaborative event of this nature for
some time and believe that by supporting local talent, our fundraising eƯorts benefit more of the
community as a whole, as well as the Zoo.”
