Wildwood Park Art In The Wild Artists Sponsors for the Awards
Art In The Wild
Art In The Wild was conceived with the goals
of presenting quality outdoor art using natural
materials, providing educational opportunities
and community involvement. The works of art are
composed of mostly natural materials to blend
with Wildwood’s nature setting. The project was
open to all. The exhibit is one more way to bring
awareness to Wildwood’s mission — preserving,
enhancing and interpreting the Park’s resources.
