Stories of water and California national parks come together for new exhibition in Solvang
Water — that essential and often-elusive element so critical to our very existence — is the subject of a new juried exhibition focusing on California national parks at the Wildling Museum of Art and Nature in Solvang. Titled California National Parks: Stories of Water, the exhibition explores various impacts of water — and sometimes the lack of it — in our national parks, with artists using through a wide range of media and techniques, from acrylic, oil, and watercolor paintings to photography, mixed media, and textile art. The exhibit features 37 artists and 39 selected artworks juried from a pool of more than 240 submissions by artists across the U.S., competing for $4,000 in awards.
