ABOUT THE SHOW

From a gentle breeze and ambiance of a stream to the imposing force of oceans, mountain peaks, and mighty storms, nature speaks to us in ways both subtle and profound, influencing our feelings and thoughts in dramatic ways. Nature’s Narrative invites artists to share their unique portrayal of the many ways the natural world inspires, nurtures, and challenges us—whether through the beauty of landscapes, the diversity of ecosystems, the resilience of wildlife, or the spiritual connections we have to the natural world. 

All mediums that reflect the richness of nature’s tale are invited to submit, including painting, photography, sculpture, digital, fiber, mixed media, and more. Artists are encouraged to submit their unique approach in capturing their vision, by way of any style such as hyper-realism, impressionism, or reimagining nature’s voice through abstraction and symbolism. From sweeping landscapes and deliberate textures, to reflections on environmental concerns and sheer celebrations of its beauty and resilience,  together, the selected works will tell a narrative inside our gallery that will connect us closer to our roots. 

This is a great opportunity for both emerging and established artists to promote their artwork in a professional gallery as part of a themed exhibition, in a popular tourist destination. In addition, the acceptance rate of our exhibitions are becoming less than 50%, adding to its appeal for any artist C.V.
