Woa! Rhino

Woa! Rhino was created by Wild in Art and seeks to promote animal environmental issues alongside the benefits of mass public art events.  The project is designed to bring a range of different people and organisations together for mutual benefit and potential new long-term friendships. At the end of the project, the majority of our rhinos will attend a gala auction in aid of our two chosen charities, ROSY and The Tusk Trust.

The project will be held in Oxfordshire between November 2010 and November 2012.
