Art & Connect: Open Call for Submissions
May 15
What inspires you in nature, and how do you connect with and express this inspiration?
Natural Lands’ NextGen Council invites artists (18+) of all backgrounds and mediums to submit their work for Art & Connect, a juried exhibition to be held this November with our partners at the Da Vinci Art Alliance gallery in Philadelphia. We are seeking creative expressions inspired by the landscapes and wildlife of eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey—with a special interest in pieces that reflect your connection to Natural Lands’ preserved properties.
From painting to poetry, sculpture to spoken word, all forms of original artwork are welcome. Whether you’re an emerging artist or a seasoned creator, we want to see how nature moves you.
Interested in the exhibit and want to stay in the loop? Sign up to receive event alerts and more.
Deadline to Submit: Friday, August 1, 2025
This event is hosted by Natural Lands’ NextGen Council, a group of passionate advocates in their 20s–40s working to help Natural Lands reach younger and more diverse communities. The exhibit is a celebration of creativity, conservation, and the power of connection.
Questions? Contact Martha Moore at Natural Lands. Scroll down for a link to submit and more guidelines/details.
Let nature inspire your art—and share it with the world.
Interested in seeing the art show? Save the date and stay tuned to join us at the Opening Reception at DaVinci Art Alliance on Thursday, November 13.
