Artists for Painted Dogs and other Wildlife

We are delighted to announce that entries are now OPEN for our third annual online exhibition to be held from Friday October 28th - Sunday 20th November 2022.

Artists are invited to submit up to three original wildlife art pieces in any medium which will be juried by a select panel. As in previous exhibitions, this will be done on a 50% sale proceeds to the artist, 50% donation basis. Successful applicants will be notified by email. Entry fees are £10 per artwork,, all entry fees will be donated to our supported charity.

It is also completely free to enter a small A4 sized 100% donation artwork for our Wall of Wildlife (WOW).

This year, we will be supporting a small, yet extremely important conservation organisation, The Kalahari African Wild Dog Conservation Trust (KAWDCT).

KAWDCT are the only group solely dedicated to help preserve Painted Dogs in Namibia where there are an estmated 350 dogs in total left in the country. As we speak, KAWDCT are out in the field, monitoring and tracking the very elusive small number of packs in North Eastern Namibia - we will be bringing you updates straight from from Nadja Le Roux and her team as they happen every week and throughout the exhibition!

You can read the full story and details as to what remarkable conservation KAWDCT do HERE, or use the dedicated KAWDCT tab in the menu above.

Entry rules and guidance and submission forms can be found in the Autumn Exhibition 2022 tab above or click HERE

Please read the rules and guidance form carefully before submitting your work.

Carina Kramer, Heather Irvine, Isaac May, Julie Brunn, Andrew Pledge, Dominique Vassie, Jo Maynard, Stephen Rew, Alicia Hayden and Cole Stirling all
put there best foot (hand?!) forward producing smaller original pieces in aid
of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) during August for our most
recent Sketchathon challenge!

Every single artist sold at least one artwork, with two artists completely selling out and we thank all of them for participating and of course, everyone who supported the skecthathon and followed it on social media. 

This Sketchathon raised just under £2000 for DSWF - thank you everybody, this will make a small but not insignificant difference for wildlife!

Etsy is a leading global online marketplace with an emphasis
on handmade goods from producers throughout the world and we will be selling our contributing artists prints, cards, in-house washbags and tea towels in our Etsy Shop. 
As on here, a percentage of each sale will of course go straight back to wildlife. 
This is ideal for any of our EU member state customers wanting to buy anything small and under £130 as the IOSS (Integrated One-Stop Shop) is fully integrated through Etsy with all tax and VAT charges applied directly at checkout.

Artists for Painted Dogs and other Wildlife is a collaborative exhibition of contemporary wildlife artists and photographers from around the world, whose exhibitions thus far have raised over £80,000 for wildlife. We aim to work with the best wildlife and nature artists covering a diverse range of artwork, all of whom work tirelessly for conservation.
