Our Mission

Art for Nature was established to fund environmental causes through the donation of creative efforts by artists and engineers passionate about protecting the natural spaces we love.

Art for Nature works with artists to market and sell their works. Proceeds from these sales, and direct donations to Art for Nature allow us to donate to established non-profits who are actively working for environmental preservation

Art for Nature is a registered 501c3 non-profit.

Who We Are

The Art for Nature consists of a small founding group of volunteers who: keep the business side of the effort on track, work to engage artists, and pull together the art shows which are the engine for generating the sales and donations which allow our contributions to environmental charities. Much of our effort  go into the production of art shows. Art patrons and volunteer art committees have been incredibly supportive in hosting or supporting the shows. Their facilities, knowledge, invitee lists and overall generosity have made our shows a success.

Our non-profits founding members and volunteer staff include

Bill Beck;  President and Board Member

Jane Beck;  Secretary and Board Member

Larry McDonald;  Board Member
