California National Parks: Stories of Water

September 23, 2023 - February 19, 2024

First Floor Main Gallery

The California Nature Art Museum is pleased to announce its third juried exhibition – California National Parks: Stories of Water – a showcase of fine art inspired by the nine National Parks located within the state of California. This exhibition will be on view September 23, 2023 – February 19, 2024 at the California Nature Art Museum.

The goal of this exhibition is to bring awareness to the wealth of national parks to be found in California as well as the various forms of water that can be found in them, or evidence of a lack of water. Lakes, waterfalls, dew, rain, and fog are just some of the ways water makes its mark throughout these parks. And the impacts of a lack of water are equally important, as persistent drought is a major issue in California.

Cash prizes for first, second, and third place will be awarded at the opening reception to be held Sunday, September 24, 2023, 3 – 5 p.m. The exhibition will be juried by Nathan Vonk, owner of Sullivan Goss – An American Gallery in Santa Barbara, California.

Selections from the Permanent Collection: California National Parks

July 13, 2023 - Ongoing

Third Floor George & Barbara Goodall Education Center

The California Nature Art Museum has a small permanent art collection with works that illustrate different elements of nature. California’s national parks are a rich source of inspiration for artists of the past and present. From the dramatic peaks and waterfalls of Yosemite to the shadowy dunes of Death Valley, there is no shortage of natural wonders to explore in the Golden State.

In the selection of works on display in the George and Barbara Goodall Education Center, visitors are invited to explore seven artists' perspectives of Yosemite, Death Valley, and the Channel Islands, three of the nine majestic national parks within California.
