The third in a series of exhibitions that celebrates art from living artists represented in the Museum’s permanent collection, Living Legends with a Special Tribute to Robert Bateman, is dedicated to recognizing the strong tradition of contemporary wildlife art that continues to thrive today.

This third installment includes artists that have been added more recently to the Museum’s permanent collection, including Donna Howell Sickles, Mark Eberhard, and others. This exhibition celebrates the contributions of each artist and their interpretations of humanity’s ever-changing relationship with the natural world.
