2026 Artists for Conservation
An International Exhibit of Nature in Art

December 13, 2025 – February 22, 2026
Reception
Friday, January 23, 2026 | 4–6 PM
Ironwood Gallery
The Artists for Conservation (AFC) annual juried exhibition features over 50 works by leading contemporary nature artists dedicated to celebrating and protecting our natural world. This curated selection is drawn from the AFC Exhibit of Nature in Art—an international juried exhibition presented annually in Vancouver as the centerpiece of AFC’s programming.
Representing artists from across Canada and more than a dozen U.S. states, the exhibition showcases a wide range of subjects, media, and styles. From apex predators to delicate invertebrates and threatened habitats, the artworks reflect personal connections to place and a spectrum of technical approaches. Together, they offer a compelling visual study of biodiversity and the ecological relationships that sustain life on Earth.
Whether expressive or scientifically informed, each piece contributes to a broader narrative about the role of art in environmental advocacy. A portion of all sales benefits conservation initiatives selected by the exhibiting artists.
