From now through August 3, Osceola Arts is hosting a one-of-a-kind exhibit in partnership with Amazing Animals Inc., titled “Creatures in Color: An Artful Exploration.” This vibrant and educational showcase blends wildlife conservation with artistic expression, highlighting the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom as seen through the eyes—and paws—of local artists and animal ambassadors.
The exhibit features an array of captivating works, including wildlife photography by Carolyn H. Photography, expressive paintings by local artist Maria Barry, and contributions from high school photo clubs across the county. Visitors will also be treated to a rare twist: original artwork created by the ambassador animals from Amazing Animals Inc., offering a truly unique perspective on the natural world.
Through bold color, imaginative composition, and heartfelt storytelling, “Creatures in Color” aims to foster appreciation for wildlife and encourage ongoing support for conservation efforts. The immersive experience highlights the emotional and educational connection between humans and animals, while offering a platform for local artists to shine.
A free public reception will be held on Saturday, August 2, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Osceola Arts. Guests are encouraged to attend for an evening of art, community, and a few surprise appearances—possibly of the furry or feathered kind.
The exhibition is free and open to the public during Osceola Arts gallery hours. For more information, visit osceolaarts.org.
