Art for Nature's Sake: Duck Stamps and Wetland Conservation
|
8/3/2010 -
10/23/2010
Art for Nature's Sake commemorates the 75th anniversary of one of our country's most successful conservation programs—the Federal Duck Stamp Program.
Since 1934, the sale of duck stamps to sportsmen and collectors has generated millions of dollars for the procurement and conservation of a resource often maligned and considered useless—marshes, swamps, potholes, and bogs, areas otherwise known as wetlands.
The initial purpose of the duck stamp program was to protect the wildlife inhabiting these places (especially waterfowl) at a time when the U.S. was awakening to the fact that it was squandering its wildlife and wild places.
Panels explaining the important benefits and diversity of wetlands, and existing threats, accompany 36 stamps and signed waterfowl prints by some of the finest nature artists such as Jay N. "Ding" Darling, Maynard Reece, the Hautman brothers, John Ruthven, Nancy Howe, and Adam Grimm and many others.
The exhibit is a production of the Cincinnati Museum Center.
