Following a trip to the Primary Primates Animal Sancturay, a group of artists create original works of art inspired by their visit. The Monkey Project features three talented artists who reveal their work and illuminate the stories behind the sanctuary's inhabitants.

Artist Heyd Fontenot examines the sanctuary's most famous chimpanzee Oliver, the "Missing Link". Oliver, who walks on two feet is believed by some to be a human/chimpanzee hybrid. Photographer Tracie Goudie introduces viewers to the beloved orangutan, Punkin and explores the deep connections we make with animals. Painter Rachel Koper looks at the impact of environmental degradation on the natural habitat of squirrel monkeys.

The Monkey Project is an unforgetable glimpse into the lives of these fascinating animals and the capacity of art to teach and inspire,
