Wonders of Nature

On Saturday, October 1st, MAPS members, friends and visitors attended the Artists’ Reception at the Wasco “Gallery of Nature”. The reception added to the Fall Festival celebration at the Garden Center and the gallery became a popular place for families to stop by, grab a snack and view the artwork.

MAPS 5th Annual Nature Photography Exhibit
The Morton Arboretum
April 30 & May 1, 2016
Our annual exhibit took place Saturday, April 30th and Sunday, May 1st in the Sycamore Room at the Arboretum from 10am – 4pm. In addition to our Saturday and Sunday exhibit, we had a reception on Friday, April 29th from 5-8pm and raffle drawings on Sunday afternoon.
The reception was very well attended as well as festive. Everyone, including guests, had a good time. The images were overall the best ever according to several overheard comments and epitomized the growth and caliber of our MAPS members’ photographic skills. Poor weather really dampened, so to speak, our Saturday attendance with a modest improvement on Sunday.
Despite the lower attendance, the exhibit proved to be a successful event. Our visitors not only enjoyed all the fabulous art, but appeared to love the wonderful raffles.
Thanks to the many MAPS members who volunteered their time throughout the exhibit weekend!
