Woodland Park Zoo and the Greenwood Collective, as well as artist scarlettina (among many others), invite you to a day's worth of celebrations for the launch of Penguins on the March--a community art project in tribute to and for the benefit of the zoo's new Humboldt Penguin exhibit.

After migrating through Seattle, the penguins will be auctioned off to benefit Woodland Park Zoo’s field conservation program. Woodland Park Zoo supports 38 wildlife conservation projects in 50 countries worldwide, including the Humboldt Penguin Conservation Center at Punta San Juan.

The vast majority of the completed penguins will be on display (at least 50) on Friday, June 12, at BOTH the Space Needle @ 10:30am AND the Greenwood Collective @ 6pm.
