Duck Stamps and Wildlife Art
November 18, 2011
It started by bringing the contestants to the Federal Duck Stamp Contest to exhibit at the San Bernardino County Museum. Since 1934, sales of the Federal Duck Stamps have helped purchase six million acres of wildlife habitat for the Migratory Bird Refuge System. The art produced by the artists who enter this contest is incredible to see. The realistic painting of ducks of all kinds is an education . Not only the work of professional artist, but there is now a Junior artists contest. The San Bernardino County Museum was the leader in bringing this exhibit to the west coast.
Tonight, an evening with the artists will be held at the museum from 6-9 p.m. The Wildlife art Festival officially opens at 9 a.m. Saturday morning and will continue Sunday when it will close at 4 p.m. On Saturday from 9:45 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. there will be Art Workshops for Children age 8 and up. These workshops have a $5 fee. The Family Fun Day will feature arts and crafts for everyone. All craft activities with the exception of the workshops for children are included with the museum paid admission. These activities and Art Workshops will continue on Sunday.
This annual event at the San Bernardino County Museum is a great opportunity to learn about wildlife art and about wildlife in general.
