Marcia Burtt and Bill Dewey featured in Oak Group show at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum

November 21 - December 21, 2024
Opening Reception: November 21, 4-6pm

More than 30 members of the Oak Group, a collection of landscape artists passionate about nature and committed to preserving local lands, will each exhibit a painting in The Oak Group Presents the Grace of the World.

Oak Group artists are passionate about nature and committed to preserving local lands for wildlife, recreation, ranching, and farming. Working with conservation groups and landowners, OAK (Open Airing Club) members record the beauty of endangered landscapes, draw attention to protecting them, and through exhibitions raise funds to support their preservation.

All of the works in the exhibition are for sale with 10% of the proceeds supporting the Museum and another 10% funding the publication of the Oak Group’s 40th anniversary catalogue. Oak artists paint beautiful, endangered landscapes to raise public awareness about threatened lands and to generate funds to help preserve them. The group has donated more than $3 million to more than 20 non-profits to preserve open space.
