November 2024 Kickoff Planting

November 2, 2024 beginning at 9 AM outside of the Tepe Park Clubhouse, located at 1212 S. Garvin Street in Evansville.

Members of the EFA will give brief welcome addresses before City Arborist Shawn Dickerson demonstrates how to properly plant and care for a newly-planted tree.

The connections between the arts and nature are numerous.

The shapes, the textures, the colors… all aspects of nature can be inspiring. With this in mind, Wesselman Woods sought a new way to connect our community with the ecology of our region and it resulted in the creation of the Annual Juried Art Exhibition.

Each year, we put out a call for artists to submit work that showcases what they love or what they are concerned about within our bioregion through a visual medium.

In 2024, entries for this exhibit will be open to ages 18 and older. One “Best in Show” winner will be selected from the selected entries as well as at least four Honorable Mentions (per the Juror’s discretion).

Selected artwork will be on display at the Wesselman Woods Nature Center during three of our busiest months (mid-June to September).

In addition to the physical display, images of artwork and links to the artist portfolios are shared online through our newsletter, website, and social media (artists are not required to have an online portfolio to enter the contest or be considered for an award).

• Themes: Wildlife, nature, and environmental issues of the Ohio River Valley bioregion.

• Accepted Media: 2-D (photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, graphic design) and 3-D (sculpture, fiber, and mixed media)

Please read the full prospectus (guidelines) for the show before you apply.

Awards

We are grateful to our friends at Inman’s Picture Framing for sponsoring the awards and reception for 2024!

• Inman Award for Best in Show: This winner will receive a monetary prize ($350) and a one-year individual membership to Wesselman Woods (WW).

• Honorable Mentions will also receive a monetary prize ($50 each) and a one-year individual membership to Wesselman Woods (WW).
