✨ ART SHOW CALL FOR ENTRIES: NOW OPEN ✨ 2026 Theme: Petals, Pollen & Purpose

From the hum of a bee to the flash of a hummingbird's wings, pollinators shape the landscapes we call home. This year's art exhibition celebrates pollination! Which means artwork should showcase the intricate relationships between native plants and the wildlife that pollinates them throughout the Ohio River Valley.

Artists are invited to explore the beauty, complexity, and conservation stories surrounding these species and the ecosystems they sustain.
