"Paws, Claws, Applause"

In an effort to educate the public about endangered species surviving in the wild, NoHo Gallery L.A., in collaboration with the L.A. Zoo, is presenting "Paws, Claws, Applause," an exhibition of animal portraits.

Black-and-white photos of various wildlife shot at the L.A. Zoo by featured photographer Charlie Morey are on display along with paintings and animal-like pieces of artwork by artists including Ildar Galyamov, Francis Gill and Harlan Peterson.

A percentage of the proceeds from the show, which runs through Aug. 29, will be donated to the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Assn.
