Huntopia: Bunnies, Birds & Butterflies
ON VIEW AT SAN ANTONIO BOTANICAL GARDEN
THROUGH NOVEMBER 3, 2024
Experience the world-premiere of Huntopia, the first-ever garden exhibition from famed artist, Hunt Slonem. Now open at the San Antonio Botanical Garden, guests will step into a whimsical world filled with the iconic colorful bunnies, birds, and butterflies the artist has been creating for decades.
Huntopia showcases a series of monumental pieces and curated installations, combining Slonem’s vibrant artworks and the Garden’s natural beauty. The large-scale art sculptures are a joyful, glittering array of show-stopping pieces created with various mediums, including works featuring tens of thousands of hand-cut, hand-applied pieces of glass. The artist’s signature animal muses create plenty of photo-worthy moments of sculptural play throughout the Garden’s 38 acres.
“Botanical gardens fascinate me. Nature is just embedded in my soul. I’m thrilled to have the blank slate of a garden to mix my art in with. It’s a project that I’ve wanted to do forever. This is the first time I’ve been able to produce work to fulfill the dream.”
