About the Show
‘Artists for Wildlife and Nature’ (AWN) was formed in 2017 by Prasad Natarajan, a wildlife artist, and is the first of its kind in India. Their main aim is to promote wildlife and nature art. AWN’s artists strongly believe in portraying nature in her purest form. They provide a platform that encourages different forms of wildlife art, and support professional and amateur artists alike.
The Annual Show 2018-2019 will showcase some of India’s most talented wildlife artists, besides rewarding well-deserved ones for their contribution towards this vital art form. This show will showcase the great biodiversity of Indian flora, fauna, reptiles and amphibians. 22 senior wildlife artists and 13 junior wildlife artists (below 18 years) are participating in this show. Through their creations, they hope to spread awareness about the need to protect endangered wildlife.
