The Enormous Elephant Art Exhibition is in aid of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya (DSWT), which is the most successful orphan-elephant rescue & rehabilitation program in the world, and 100% of the money raised by the exhibition will go to this charity.

Large numbers of elephants are poached every year for their ivory tusks, which are used to make trinkets. If we continue to allow poaching at the current rate, elephants will almost certainly be extinct within 15-20 years.

You can help by spreading the word, coming to the exhibition, buying any artwork at the exhibition, adoption a baby elephant, or simply by donating via our website. 100% of all money raised will go to the DSWT charity.
