A Change of Season

Opportunity Description

http://www.wildlifeart.org/calendar/exhibitions/#97

TD Kelsey's A Change of Seasons greets every visitor as they drive up Rungius Road to the Museum. His work depicts two bison, one lying down, both are shedding their heavy coats as winter gives way to spring. Taking a cue from Kelsey's work, the National Museum of Wildlife Art presents A Change of Seasons: Wildlife in Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, which focuses on how artists have interpreted wildlife's response to the four seasons. One of the strengths of wildlife art is its ability to tell a wide variety of stories. Because many artists pride themselves on their accuracy in terms of recording animal behavior in the wild, we can use our collection to show how animals adapt to the various seasons of the year. Building on the success of our annual Wildlife in Winter exhibit, this installation displays wildlife art depicting animals in all four seasons, showing not only wonderful artwork, but also imparting information to our visitors about survival strategies and seasonal changes affecting wildlife.
