Wildlife art enthusiasts will have two different opportunities, one on each side of the country, to view works from prominent wildlife artists. Both events are hosted by the Society of Animal Artists and both open in August.
Jeremy Bradshaw, Boing!, bronze, 9 x 17 x 5”. On view at Animal Impressions.
Måns Bergendal, Moonlight, oil on canvas, 22 x 18”. On view at Animal Impressions.
The first show, Art That Matters to the Planet, opens August 14 at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, New York. “Direct or indirect, subtle or confrontational, light-hearted or deadly serious, the featured artwork will help raise awareness, spark meaningful conversations and move people—hearts and minds—to protecting the plants and animals we love,” according to the museum. Artists in the exhibition include John Brennan, Rusty Frentner, Paul Rhymer, Derek Robertson, Aleta Rossi-Steward and others. It runs through October 25, and then travels to the Hiram Blauvelt Art Museum in Oradell, New York, and then the Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays, Kansas.
Paul Rhymer, Death of Athena, bronze, 6 x 8 x 12”. On view at Art That Matters to the Planet.
The second exhibition, Animal Impressions, opens August 21 at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson, Arizona. The exhibition will feature works from 60 Society of Animal Artists members and will, according to the museum, “showcase a variety of species indigenous to the American Southwest as well as subjects from around the world by the Society’s international membership.” A reception for the artists will be held on September 17 at the museum. The exhibition will be on view through November 7.
