Artists, families and art lovers alike — join us this year in celebrating creativity, movement, and the dynamic beauty of Nature that takes to the skies!
All are invited to participate in Geauga Park District’s newest community art show, On the Wing…Nature That Takes Flight, which will be on display at The West Woods Nature Center from March 28 through July 26.
Please note that walk-in artist applications cannot be accepted for this show. There is also no paper form available for entry. Rather, artwork applications must be completed in advance using the online form that will be posted between February 12 and March 12 at www.geaugaparkdistrict.org under Activities, then Special Events & Art Shows. Photos of artwork must also be submitted at that time.
For On the Wing, Geauga Park District eagerly anticipates a community-fueled show inspired by the beauty, motion and energy of Nature that flies. Critically, the theme of “Nature That Takes Flight” must occupy at least two-thirds of all artist submissions. This may be captured in the rapid flutter of a hummingbird, the sweeping glide of an eagle, the aerial acrobatics of dragonflies over a pond, and countless other airborne moments found in the natural world — but wildlife need not be portrayed as actively flying, either. Rather, artwork must celebrate the types of wildlife that fly.
A variety of media are welcome: drawing or painting, photography, other media, and a special youth category for artists ages 12 and under. Up to two entries will be accepted per artist, and all rules and entry guidelines are already posted to the website so that you can begin creating now.
Explore your own interpretations and share your creativity with the community in this vibrant, biennial showcase! For more information, contact Special Events Coordinator Holly Sauder at 440-226-2753 or hsauder@geaugaparkdistrict.org.
