Call for Entries: NATURAL WONDERS Youth Art Show

Calling all young artists and creators!
Opera Omaha, Wicked Raven Productions, and Joslyn Castle & Gardens invite artists 18 and younger to join a special youth art show celebrating the enchanting bond between humanity and the natural world inspired by Opera Omaha’s new production of Fantastic Mr. Fox. This is your moment to let your imagination bloom and share your unique vision with the community!

Themes:

Connection to the Natural World
Nature and Whimsy
Animal Companions
Woodland Creatures

Dive into the magic of nature for inspiration! Explore the quiet strength of towering trees, the playful dance of woodland creatures, or the loyal companionship of animals that stir your heart. Capture the whimsy of a forest bathed in golden light, the mystery of a creature’s gaze, or the harmony of living alongside the wild.
