Event Description: Throughout the park at Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure, artists are at work. While daily duties consist of caring for animals, cleaning exhibits, maintaining landscaping, guest services, and providing education programs, this group has another creative side that most don't get to see. "KeepSakes: The Art of Rolling Hills" takes a peek at the artistic side of the keepers, staff, and volunteers at Rolling Hills. Pieces you'll see on display during "KeepSakes" run the gamut in flatworks including photography, pastel, oil, acrylic, water color, pencil and mixed media. Three-dimensional pieces include cross-stitch, sculpture and woodwork.

Artists participating in the exhibit have a wide variety of backgrounds from simply hobby artists, to those who have focused studies in the field, to some who have exhibited and sold their artwork. All of the 40 plus pieces in "KeepSakes" were created by and celebrate the talents of the people who work up-close-and-personal with the 300+ animal residents of Rolling Hills. The exhibit also includes artwork created by our children's Art & the Animal camp participants this past fall.
