Nature Artists’ Guild’s Special Exhibit at Aurora Public Art this Summer
The Nature Artists’ Guild is excited to announce a special exhibit this summer at the gallery of the Aurora Public Art Commission in Aurora, IL.
Art Inspired by the Earth: Nature Artists’ Guild of The Morton Arboretum will open on June 7, 2024 with a reception at the gallery during one of the city’s popular First Fridays celebrations, and continue through July 13.
