MARCELLUS — Fluffy little owls sitting on a branch. A sea turtle swimming through waves of blue. A butterfly approaching similarly-colored flowers against a watercolor sky.
These images are among the nature-inspired works of art on display in the 2022 Student Art Exhibit at Baltimore Woods Nature Center.
Now through June 3, student work, from kindergarten through the high school levels, may be seen in the art gallery of the Interpretive Center.
The public is invited to attend the show on Saturdays throughout May.
Those interested in viewing the gallery Monday through Friday, 9 to 4 p.m., are asked to call the office at 315-673-1350 in advance to arrange a viewing time.
The nature center is located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road in Marcellus and there are no admission or parking fees.
Connecting children with the natural world and educating children to become good stewards of the earth are among the primary goals of Baltimore Woods Nature Center.
The creation and appreciation of nature-inspired art is one of the many ways of making those fundamental connections.
“This is an exhibit that always makes us smile. It is so enjoyable to see what the students produce – from the fresh and expressive work of the kindergartners through to the accomplished renderings of the senior students. This year we are pleased to have a variety of artwork by students from Auburn, Skaneateles, Marcellus, and Onondaga School District,” says Gallery Coordinator Karen Jean Smith. “The art educators go above and beyond their normal responsibilities to make their students’ work available for this show, and we are very appreciative of their efforts.”
