2025 Juried Art Show: Discovering the Native Landscapes of Maryland’s Eastern Shore
On Show: March 4–April 26
Reception: March 29, 2–4 pm
Adkins Arboretum's Annual Juried Art Show runs from March 4–April 25, 2025. The theme of the show, Discovering the Native Landscapes of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, celebrates the Arboretum’s mission of conservation. The Leon Andrus Awards, named in honor of the Arboretum’s first benefactor, will be given for first and second places.
The show is open to original two- and three-dimensional fine arts in all mediums, including outdoor sculpture and installations. Works should reflect or interpret broadly the show’s theme of the wild nature and landscapes of the mid-Atlantic coastal plain region. Selected artists may be considered for future exhibits at the Arboretum.
The Annual Juried Art Show is part of Adkins Arboretum’s ongoing exhibition series of work on natural themes by regional artists.
