Climate change has made the forces of nature feel more urgent, visible, and dangerous, but nature has always carried immense power. For this show, the Gallery is looking for artwork that captures nature’s force in all its forms, from destructive weather and turbulent landscapes to the steady, predictable rhythms of the natural world.

Artists are encouraged to interpret this theme broadly through subjects such as storms, wind, water, fire, changing seasons, geological movement, and other expressions of nature’s beauty, intensity, and strength. We welcome submissions in all mediums, including fiber and photography, that reflect both the drama and the enduring patterns of the natural world.
