Once a Kingdom: <br />Animal Portraits from <br />D. R. Wakefield and Zoo New England

JANUARY 16-APRIL 24, 2020
Opening: Thursday, January 16th and January 30th, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm (see our events page for more information on the openings)

A striking tour of the creatures lost and found on a changing planet, our new exhibit pairs etchings and professional photographs highlighting endangered and extinct animals with original paintings by the Zoo's gorillas.


Update 4/10/2020: 

We're thrilled to announce that we have joined Zoo New England to create an online auction featuring the photographs, prints, and paintings from our exhibit, "Once a Kingdom: Animal Portraits from D. R. Wakefield and Zoo New England." In leading the effort, the Zoo has offered a way to support their conservation work, even from home. Highlighted by original artwork by the Zoo's gorillas, along with color etchings by D.R. Wakefield, original art by Jen Bradley, and photographs by Eric Kilby, the auction, like the exhibition, aims to demonstrate the perseverance and personality of animals. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the Zoo and all of our associated artists, and we are pleased to collaborate with them on this auction as a creative way to close the exhibit with due celebration.

The auction opens April 13th at 8am and closes at 8pm on Sunday, April 19th. Half of the proceeds from photographs and artwork by the gorillas will support the Zoo. We can have items available for pickup or for shipment. In addition, we have extended the closing date of the exhibit to Friday, April 24th.

Register for the auction here and we thank you for your support!
