Tile Painting Party

After our Zoo overnight, we were invited to spend Saturday morning creating artwork that will be incorporated into the children's section of the new Nordstrom department store being built in Kenwood Towne Centre. Each Zoo-Mates mentee painted animal designs onto two ceramic tiles that will be placed on the floor of the store. Other kids also came to paint too, and the event rasied over $9000 to support the Zoo.


Getting some tips from the artist.












After we finished the art project, we were invited to a celebration sponsored by Nordstrom. The buffet was full of amazing snacks, but the most exciting part was getting our faces painted!
