ARTservancy: Year in Review
January 2, 2023 | Topics: featured artist
2022 was the fourth year for the remarkable ARTservancy program, which pairs Wisconsin artists with nature preserves in the greater Milwaukee area. The range of media used by the selected artists continued to grow, this year including a poet as well as a variety of visual art mediums.
ARTservancy is a partnership between Gallery 224 and the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust, the River Revitalization Foundation, the Milwaukee Area Land Conservancy, Tall Pines Conservancy, and Milwaukee County Parks. Its mission is to promote the visionary work of both the artists and conservationists.
As we have been doing since its inception, The Natural Realm has featured the artists in residence. Each featured artist provided their own Artist Statement and a selection of their artworks, as well as biographical information. This is recap is a very brief look at them, including just two images per artist, one portrait in situ at their preserve and a single image representative of their artwork. The titles link back to the original featured stories so that you can see more of their work and read their Artist Statements. They are in alphabetical order by last names.
