Call for Artists 2024: Keeping Costa Rica Wild
Call for Artists: Join Toucan Rescue Ranch’s “Keeping Costa Rica Wild” Fun-Raiser!
Since 2016, Toucan Rescue Ranch has hosted an annual art contest to raise funds for our amazing projects and programs. Thanks to the creativity and generosity of artists like you, we’ve bought new medical equipment, provided our COVID-19-pandemic relief fund, built pre-release enclosures, and even created an education center!
This year, we’re back with a bang and a brand new theme: “Keeping Costa Rica Wild”! We’re inviting artists from all over the world to join us in celebrating and protecting the incredible wildlife of Costa Rica.

The Keeping Costa Rica Wild Fund
Our Keeping Costa Rica Wild Program is a cornerstone of what we do at TRR. From tayras and wildcats to otters and spider monkeys, we provide top-notch care for various species. Your support helps these amazing creatures and fuels new initiatives to conserve Costa Rica's wildlife.
Why is the Fund Important?
The Keeping Costa Rica Wild Program helps us continue to support the various mammal species that come into our care that need rehabilitation, medical attention, a forever home, and in many cases, rewilding.
How it will Save Lives
Costa Rica is a treasure trove of unique and endangered species. With your help, the Keeping Costa Rica Wild Program can continue to protect these precious creatures. In 2024 alone, we expect to care for 500 orphaned and injured animals. This ambitious effort will cost approximately $50,200. These funds are essential for the comprehensive care, rehabilitation, and, when possible, rewilding of these animals. They cover everything from medical supplies and clinic services to the ongoing costs of looking after the diverse species in our care.
For this year's Call for Artists, our goal is to raise $10,000 to cover a chunk of the costs of this important program.
Create an Impact
Jump on board and be a part of this exciting initiative. Your artistic flair will help ensure the survival of Costa Rica’s amazing wildlife. Together, we can keep Costa Rica wild and wonderful!
