The Wild Couch Party

The Wild Couch Party is an interactive public art experience that brings together twelve endangered animals from around the world in a larger-than-life bronze sculpture celebrating connection, compassion, and conservation.

Hosted by the beloved characters Rabbitwoman and Dogman, the installation invites visitors to join a symbolic gathering where wildlife and humanity share a seat at the same table. From the African elephant and Bengal tiger to the koala and orangutan, each animal represents a species facing growing threats to its survival.

Designed to spark conversation and inspire action, The Wild Couch Party highlights the importance of protecting the natural world while creating a memorable, photo-worthy experience in Via Corazon (Spanish for "in the heart") of Water Street Tampa.

Meet the guests: African Elephant, Masai Giraffe, Bengal Tiger, Hippo, Koala, Chimpanzee, Grevy's Zebra, Northern White Rhino, Lion, Mountain Gorilla, Orangutan, and an Arabian Red Fox.

Visit Via Corazon, take a seat, and become part of the story. Because every great gathering starts by making room for everyone.
