MKE Nature Preserves & Art

Join naturalist Eddee Daniel as he guides us to an understanding of the nexus of environmental conservation and art in the Milwaukee area. ARTservancy is a collaboration between an art gallery and several land trusts. The program pairs artists with nature preserves for a year-long residency. Artists visit the properties during the year and create artworks inspired by their visits. While I have myself served as an artist in residence, my main role has been to document the program and promote it and the artists on my blog, The Natural Realm. I will explain the program and share slides of the work of selected artists and their relationship to their preserves.
