Art serves as a powerful medium for deepening our understanding and appreciation of the natural world – a great conduit for educating the public about our ecosystems. The shapes, the textures, the colors… all aspects of nature can be inspiring and there’s no better place to have this conversation than Wesselman Woods, the largest urban old-growth forest in the United States.

2025 Exhibition Theme: Oops! All Birds

Deadline for entries: October 3
