A celebration of collaboration at Artizan Gallery

The Training Partnership have been busy celebrating continued collaboration this week ahead of Paignton Zoo’s Great Big Rhino Project. The fantastic Artizan Gallery played host to an evening for supporters to discover more about the project and featured talks from Paignton Zoo’s Simon Tonge and Pippa Craddock. The talks highlighted the tragic reality of rhinos in the wild and the threat of extinction among certain species.

The Great Big Rhino Project will see life-sized rhino models brilliantly decorated by local artists on display across the streets of Devon this summer, raising money for vital conservation and education work. 

TTPL have sponsored one of the 40 rhinos set to be on display – the magnificent Dino Rhino! We think artist Jess Miller has done a fantastic job with some amazing and intricate painting.

The evening at Artizan, hosted by Anthony Blackaby of Scribble & Ink also featured canapés and prosecco courtesy of Pier Point and special-edition Rhino Ale by Bays Brewery. Over £70 was raised on the night through generous donations. 

We’ve all been very touched by the collaboration and partnership shown  between businesses and individuals to raise money for such a fantastic cause through such a brilliant idea.

 

The trail of painted rhinos across Torbay and Exeter will come alive on Saturday July 30 – be sure to look out for Dino Rhino!
