Larry Zach’s Blog

We recently exhibited artwork at the grand opening of the new Bass Pro Shops store in Des Moines. Larry also had the opportunity to do live painting demonstrations each day. The first four images below are from the grand opening. The last image, of a charging elephant, is from another painting demonstration Larry conducted at the Bass Pro store on September 26.

During the five days at the store, we met many of the employees, all whom displayed great hospitality, and we visited with thousands of awestruck customers coming for their first visit to see the impressive displays and decor. We also had the added privilege of meeting John Morris, the founder and CEO of Bass Pro Shops, during the special Conservation Evening event.

We look forward to working further with Bass Pro Shops in the future, so keep your eyes open for more demonstrations and partnerships.
