Art isn’t found just in galleries and isn’t limited to paint a sculpture. Nature has always inspired artists. Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is presenting an effort to seamlessly meld the world of nature and art with Wild Art. You’ll see a variety of installations that use plants and rocks as their medium.

Wild Art: a Journey Off-Canvas is a collaborative community art experience inspired by nature, combining the efforts of regional artists and thousands of Garden visitors to transform the Garden into a living tapestry of natural art. Wild Art will feature large-scale art installations made from materials found in the natural environment. Scattered throughout the Garden to prompt exploration and discovery, the multi-sensory experiences will spark new ways of interacting with the natural world and each other. Pop-up & Ephemeral Art — created by volunteers, partner groups and staff and guest artists, these works of art encourage visitors to see the natural beauty in the environment. Featured pop-up artists include Noah Scalin, Mirinda Powers Reynolds and Erling Sjovold.

Learn more about the artist, their works, the garden’s  Wild Art Instagram contest and more online. To check out Wild Art, simply purchase a Lewis Ginter Garden ticket and enjoy the exhibit along with the rest of the gardens. Admission to Lewis Ginter  is free for Garden Members, $13 for adults, $11 Seniors 55+, $8 Children (3-12).
