Visitors to Rushen Heritage Centre will discover the enchanting beauty of the Isle of Man’s nature at a new ‘Art of Wild’ exhibition.
Curated by the team at Manx Wildlife Trust, Art of Wild opens to the public on Tuesday, June 4 and runs until Saturday, July 13.
The exhibition features a captivating display of nature-inspired art by celebrated local artists such as Jeremy Paul, Erica Kermode, and Ali Hodgson, the Biosphere Artist In Residence.
Art of Wild
It is a diverse collection showcasing the artists’ profound connection to the natural world, featuring stunning original paintings, intricate ceramics, evocative photography, and exquisite prints.
Each piece reflects our unique Island wildlife through the theme of land, sea and air, bringing the untamed beauty of nature into the gallery.
The Centre, in Bridson Street, Port Erin is run by Rushen Heritage Trust and is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm.
Graham Makepeace-Warne is Manx Wildlife Trust’s Head of Engagement.
He said: ‘The Art of Wild exhibition beautifully captures the essence of our Island’s natural beauty through the eyes of talented local artists. It’s a testament to the incredible biodiversity we are privileged to protect and cherish.
We are thrilled to be involved in this celebration of nature and creativity and grateful to Rushen Heritage Centre for hosting it.’
