Inspired by Nature: Youth Exhibit

September 21st, 2026 - October 30th, 2026

We are proud to present the work of the next generation of artists.

This annual showcase of creative expressions from youth aged 18 & under will be on display in the Community Art Gallery at the Nature Centre.

Participating artists are invited to “find their muse” in nature, then create something that would inspire others to spend more time outside.

 “We know that spending time in nature is important for everyone. We want the ‘Inspired by Nature’ exhibition to provide a fun way to celebrate youth who explore the outdoors, reflect on their experiences, and encourage others to do the same.”

-Fran Leggett, President of the Rotary club
