The Wildling Museum of Art and Nature is pleased to present its third juried exhibition showcasing California’s nine national parks this fall. California National Parks: Stories of Water will feature 37 artists and 39 selected artworks juried from a pool of more than 240 submissions by artists across the U.S., competing for $4,000 in awards. The public is invited to attend an opening reception and awards ceremony at the Wildling on Sunday, September 24, 2023 from 3 - 5 p.m.

The exhibition explores various impacts of water – and its lack – in California’s national parks through a wide range of media and techniques, from acrylic, oil, and watercolor paintings, to photography, mixed media, and textile art.

The Wildling Museum is grateful to juror Nathan Vonk, owner of Sullivan Goss – An American Gallery, located in Santa Barbara, for judging the impressive number of entries. Works featured in the exhibition are available for sale with 40 percent of proceeds benefitting the Wildling Museum.
