This is a photography show. We will be accepting both 2D and 3D work.

The natural world is full of extraordinary things, if we take the time to notice them.

Maple Grove Arts Center invites photographers to explore the beauty, diversity, character and complexity of the living world in Flora & Fauna.

From delicate wildflowers and towering trees to birds, insects, mammals and creatures both familiar and unexpected, this exhibition celebrates the remarkable world of plants and animals through photography.

We are looking for images that do more than simply document nature. Capture a moment, reveal a detail, tell a story, convey a mood or invite the viewer to see something familiar in an entirely new way.

The opening is scheduled for February 4, 6:30 to 8:30pm
