  'My First Painting' by Abby
Abby, a young victim of the exotic pet trade, is one of the artists featured in the exhibit.
Abby, a young brown capuchin, was sold as a 'pet'

Proceeds from sales of artwork and a variety of monkey gifts will benefit the sanctuary.

The Light-N-Up exhibit which opened October 11 has been the most successful to date: on opening night we received nearly $1,500 in donations and they are still coming in. Monkey Art is all the rage! For the person who has everything, Monkey Art makes a thoughtful and unusual gift.

Sadly, our friends at Light N Up will be closing their doors, so they are also now having a liquidation sale--lots of shopping bargains on everything from merchandise to fixtures!

Farewell Party
Sunday, December 28, 2008, 4-6 pm

There will be a farewell party on Light N Up's final day. Donna will be there too, to tell you more about the Jungle Friends monkeys.

The monkey art exhibit runs though December.
