Art Discovery Day: Call for Artists

Every fall, we end our visitation season with our Art Discovery Day at the Leopold Center. We’ve begun the planning for our 10th annual event, set for October 28, 2017, and are looking for regional artists and artists to exhibit their work.

About Art Discovery Day

Art has a unique ability to facilitate connections between people and land.  Join us to celebrate and appreciate the work of regional artists who find inspiration in the land ethic and the natural world. Visitors can discover new art, see demonstrations, talk with artists, and even start their holiday shopping a little early. Mark your calendar and plan to join us!
