Published on by DeniseLeave a comment

Five talented artists will share some of their inspirations, tools, and techniques with visitors at the Nature Artists’ Guild’s 2024 Autumn Art Exhibit.

Visitors can stop by and talk with the demonstrating artists, get an up-close view of their artwork, and learn more about their methods and materials. They will also be able to enjoy more than 250 works of art created by 65 members of the Nature Artists’ Guild, including those of Autumn 2024 Featured Artist Dale Olsen.

The demonstrations will take place in the lobby of the Administration Building of The Morton Arboretum (seating will be available), adjacent to the Sterling Morton Library and the Cudahy Room (where the main exhibit will be held). Parking is available at the Administration Building or the Visitor Center, just a short and lovely stroll away.
