Welcome to the 2023 Virtual Celebration of the Great Swamp!

Continuing our annual celebration and fundraiser through our virtual art show enabling appreciation, education and conservation of the Great Swamp.

Through art, we encourage people to observe and research the Great Swamp, facilitating a mutual appreciation and passion for conservation.

Our in-person Art Show took place on October 21-22, 2023, and we welcomed hundreds of visitors over the two days – a thoroughly enjoyable time for all!

We could not have made the event such a success without the assistance of many volunteers who helped setting up and breaking down the show, greeting visitors, staffing the various educational exhibits, checking in and out the artwork, selling t-shirts and artwork, and other fundraising activities.
To all of our volunteers – we really appreciate your support!

The 2023 artwork will now be shown here as part of a virtual show. The links below under DIY Demonstrations were originally created in 2020, but the projects remain relevant, so we have left them there for your continued enjoyment.
