Creating to connect Animals and wild places are disappearing, right here in our backyard and across the globe.

Zoo Miami walls invites artists and muralists to use their creativity and passion for visual representation to help us tell a story about wildlife, conservation and the fragility of our natural world.

Zoo Miami Walls allows artists to fill the Zoos empty wall-space with interpretations of animals, conservation and nature. We hope that your artwork will help move people to think about wildlife in a new light and help us make a difference in the world.
