• Growth opportunities; including workshops conducted by internationally known artists, lectures, art-related educational sessions and mentorship relationships

• Opportunities to exhibit and sell personal work

• New this year! Chestnut Group Online Sales Gallery—a new platform for members to showcase their work. We’re excited about making our members’ works available to the public on our website. Each member will have up to five spots, with 85% of sales proceeds going directly to the artist. Stay tuned for more details as we role this out early in the first quarter.

• Invitations to paint on scenic private property, in remote areas, and venues closed to the general public

• The camaraderie, informal learning, and self-discovery that come from spending time with a community of people sharing passions and conservation ideals

• The joy of being part of a collaborative effort to make a difference in reaching the mission of the group to conserve and protect vanishing landscapes and endangered properties.

Art makes a difference. Be a part of the change.
