Celebrate Wildlife. Support Rescue. Be Part of the Art.

Join us in creating something lasting and help make a difference today!

As we continue to care for animals rescued from Sea Question, the Lake Superior Zoo is creating a vibrant mosaic mural, and you're invited to play a meaningful role in it! At the center, a lush capybara scene comes to life, surrounded by individually available tiles, each one personalized with the name of a supporter, loved one, or organization.

When you purchase a tile, your name becomes part of an installation at the Zoo, woven into a public work of art that will be seen and appreciated for years to come. Each tile will be sourced locally in Minnesota and hand-painted by renowned Duluth artist Karin Kraemer in her signature Maiolica style—known for its rich, vibrant color, and organic movement. No two tiles are exactly alike, each one a small, but powerful piece of a much larger story. You get to choose which South American Animal will represent you on the tile!
Choose from the Cotton Top Tamarin, Macaw, Prehensile Tailed Porcupine, Frogs, Capybara, Kinkajou, Armadillo, Sloth, Tortoise, or Iguana.

Your tile will:

Become part of the mural at the Zoo
Honor your name or someone special
Directly support habitat improvements and expert, ongoing care for rescued animals

Together, we're creating a space that reflects what rescue truly means, a commitment to continued care where animals can truly thrive.
