The National Sporting Library & Museum (NSLM) is hosting “A Vision of Nature,” an exhibition of 55 paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media installations selected from 531 entries submitted by members of the non-profit organization American Women Artists. The jurors were Shannon Fitzgerald (Mennello Museum of American Art, Orlando), Claudia Pfeiffer (National Sporting Library & Museum), and Robin Knowlton (former AWA executive director).
On view are works that address four themes: love of the land, sporting, animals and wildlife, and country pursuits. These make sense at NSLM, which was founded in 1954 in the heart of Virginia’s horse and hunt country. From its scenic six-acre campus, the museum advocates for conservation of open spaces and waterways.
This is the ninth exhibition AWA has co-organized through its initiative to have 25 museum shows for members over 25 years. The exhibitors will be eligible for more than $30,000 in awards, including a $10,000 Grand Prize sponsored by the Janet & Robert Lee Family Fund.
