The Art by Nature program highlights the beauty of our local Fayette County landscapes and plants and ways to improve and enhance the natural world. Local artists create pieces inspired by the list of chosen sites provided each year.
The 2025 theme: Rooted In Time. We are celebrating trees that have stood the test of time and been here 250 years or longer. Trees all around have been chosen for their beauty and resilience. Locations will be marked with an “Art by Nature” sign.
Submitted art must be created based on one of the location sites. Our team goes to great lengths to pick specific locations, map them, and mark them for artists. We hope you get to meet a special tree that inspires you!
