ART RECEPTIONS AND EXHIBITIONS

Art Gallery Receptions at Rookery Bay | National Estuarine Research Reserve

Intersection of Art & the Environment

The Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center Art Gallery hosts several exhibitions each year. Shows feature works by featured artists, local students, or Reserve friends and family. Most of the works are available for purchase. While applied science is the focus of most Reserve activities, we acknowledge that there are many pathways toward greater understanding of the natural world. Our Art Gallery creates an opportunity for people to increase their sense of wonder for nature by stimulating and celebrating personal expression through the visual arts.
