Nature Art Exhibits at Audubon
Every two months, we welcome a new nature-inspired artist to display their work in the Audubon Nature Center and Aquarium's multi-purpose room for visitors to enjoy. Hundreds of guests walk through the venue's doors each month– from our natural history and aquarium exhibits and the beautiful grounds by the bay, to community events and Audubon programming, it is one of Bristol, Rhode Island's premiere destinations to connect with nature.

Exhibition Parameters
- Artwork will be on display for two months.
- We ask that your art is themed around nature, birds, or other wildlife. This may be an artistic interpretation.
- The pieces must not contain graphic imagery or nudity.
- We welcome art of many different mediums, but it must be able to hang for display.
- We do not accept 3-dimensional, work such as sculpture. If you create art that is not traditional to gallery space, please feel free to reach out to see if there may be other opportunities.
- Artist is responsible for bringing in and hanging artwork as well as removing it at the end of the show. We provide hanging materials as requested. Please note, we do not allow nails, tacks or other hanging materials that may be damaging to our walls.
- Should you decide to sell your work during the show, Audubon normally takes a 30% commission of all sales.
- Exhibiting artists are welcome to have an opening reception. We provide tables and chairs, and you are welcome to bring refreshments. We will promote the art opening reception on our website and social media, but, in general, promotion and invitations fall to the artist.
