Squirrel Monkey Artists

Not all artwork is created by humans - whether in the form of nests, shelters, signals of fitness, displays of territory success, or in collaboration with humans, animals can also be the artists. Many animal species produce beautiful pieces of art, either permanent or fleeting. 

Many paintings and prints from participating primates are sold to support conservation efforts and animal care of species worldwide. 

These canvases were completed by squirrel monkeys in collaboration with human care staff during an enrichment activity.
