Each 9×12 inch piece is a unique, detailed depiction of waterfowl and habitat.

It teaches wetland and waterfowl conservation to students in kindergarten through high school.

The winning piece from Wyoming was created by 15-year-old Bailey Shupp of Pinedale, WY; it’s a striking oil painting of a Harlequin Duck.

Transformations: Wildlife in Inuit Art and Culture
Through May 5, 2024Through cultural stories, Transformations seeks to explore Inuit history, values, and beliefs. The exhibit is comprised of works from the permanent collection and items on loan from private collections. The hope, as it is with all exhibits, is that visitors take away a deeper appreciation of the artwork and perhaps are introduced to something that they did not know before. Most importantly, we want to bring attention to the fact that today Inuit artists are producing powerful artworks that reference histories and that, at the same time, confront contemporary issues such as conservation and environmental concerns.
