The Arcadian Gallery - American Wildlife Art Competition and Exhibition 2025

The Arcadian Gallery is proud to announce its inaugural American Wildlife Art Competition and Exhibition, a celebration of nature-themed original art and prints. This unique competition showcases the beauty of wildlife and provides artists with the opportunity to exhibit their work in both an online exhibition as well as an elegant, brick-and-mortar gallery setting in the heart of downtown Cumberland, Maryland. 

This exhibition is unusual in that it welcomes fine art print submissions in addition to original artwork. Artists may also submit digital files which, if accepted into the exhibition, the Gallery will print for the show. The goal of the show is to highlight conservation and environmentally-themed art and inspire appreciation of the natural world. We apologize, but this year we will only be accepting two-dimensional artwork.
