IWA needs a group who will sponsor a youth art exhibit. The Indiana Wildlife Artists (IWA–https://indianawildlifeartists.org/) wants to encourage youth wildlife artists by giving significant gift cards specified for art supplies.
The sponsoring organization needs to be in Indiana at a physical location that is open for others to view. 2-D and 3-D art in any art form including photography is acceptable as long as the subject is wildlife or native plants. (not domestic animals and not tulips or other common plants.
The exhibit does not have to be limited to wildlife art; however, our awards will only be given to youths who are exhibiting wildlife art. Youths are defined as those in middle school through those in undergraduate universities. Students can be in public schools, private schools, or home schools.
The organization sponsoring the art exhibit may be a school but does NOT have to be a school. To be eligible for our awards, the youth artwork must have wildlife or wild plants (fauna or flora) as the subject. The youths must live in the State of Indiana.
We are looking for existing exhibits during 2025 or 2026. It is anticipated that IWA will give art supply gift cards in the amount of $100 and above. Members of IWA will serve as those who select the award-winning artwork. The decision of our judges is final. IWA must agree that the exhibit is suitable for the purposes of encouraging youth wildlife art. IWA reserves the right to change our terms at any time.
