COMMON GROUND: Collaborations by Primates and Artists
You’re invited to an exhibition and auction to benefit the Primate Rescue Center, hosted by 2nd Story
Friday, November 6, 2026 | 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Join us for an exhibition that brings together original paintings made by the primates of the Primate Rescue Center, alongside works created through an artistic exchange between primates and human artists. The result is a playful conversation across species.
Enjoy drinks and light bites, view the exhibition, and be among the first to place your bids in the online auction. Online bidding opens November 6 and closes November 14.
All proceeds directly support the Primate Rescue Center’s mission of providing lifetime care and a safe haven for all of its residents.
