The Vermont Wildlife Education Fund is a 501(c)3 organization seeking to encourage awareness, thought, and discussion of the diversity and challenges facing our native fauna. “The Vermont Student Wildlife Art Expo" is our flagship event.
The expo highlights the talents of students in grades 7-12 from across the state. By slowing down to think about, study, and observe their subjects in the process of creating their entries, it is almost unavoidable to learn about wildlife and to make discoveries that were not anticipated, all the while encouraging students to get outside and off screens, and…breathe. 
 
Entries are judged on originality (both in concept and reference material:  e.g., their own observations and possibly photos taken outside), technique, composition, and representation of Vermont's natural history. 

 

The exhibition is sponsored by the Churchill Family Charitable Fund, the Vermont Wildlife Education Fund, Sugar Maple Veterinary Center, the VYCC, the Society of Animal Artists, and the Monument Arts and Cultural Center.  For the fifth annual show, this year's theme is:
