ART RECEPTIONS AND EXHIBITIONS
Intersection of Art & the Environment
The Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center Art Gallery hosts several exhibitions each year. A partnership with the United Arts Council of Collier County (UAC) enables annual exhibitions of painting and photography juried by local art experts while other shows feature works by local students, Reserve friends & family, or featured artists. Most of the works are available for purchase.
- The Reserve and UAC work together to promote the arts and the environment. 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.
Featured Artist Meet & Greet Reception: April 9, 2020
Featured Artist of the Year
Dora Knuteson
Dora will be onsite creating ‘sea turtle’ and ‘Rookery Bay’ inspired collections throughout the year. She has created a large mural at the Environmental Learning Center depicting our coastal treasure and the wildlife that call it home. Part of her artistic mission is to support the conservation and environmental protection of local waters and wildlife.
We will be featuring Dora’s work each Saturday on our social media @friendsofrookerybay. View all of her artwork available for purchase on her website below.
