Art for chimp’s sake
September 5, 2009 by Diana -
I am SO excited about the donations that we have for our Celebrate the Seven auction (Buy tickets)
In addition to some incredible getaway packages, wine excursions and bottles of wine, restaurant gift certificates, and tons of fun, fun stuff, we have art that was donated specifically for this auction. Many pieces are illustrations and paintings of chimpanzees, including the Cle Elum Seven. Below are just a few.
In a few days, I will post a one-of-a-kind necklace made by CSNW supporter Tamela – it will absolutely blow you away.
Be sure to get your tickets today and tell others about the auction! You can also spread the event through Facebook.

Colin has been working for the past several months on ink illustrations of all seven of the chimpanzees for the auction – all of which are breathtaking.
