If you asked me as a kid what my biggest ultimate dream would be, I likely would have said I wanted to make art and save all the animals. I know so many artists share my love for nature and conservation, and that's what this show is all about.

We believe that art has the power to impact people, and we believe as a group in using our power as artists to inspire a deep love for conservation.

Each piece in this show is insipred in some way by nature- from wildlife, National Parks, and wild places, to a deep belief in our need to protect our Earth. Each artist has chosen a conservation organization that connects either to their piece, or to their heart as an artist. Each artist is donating 50% of the proceeds from their work to their specified conservation group.

We believe we all have the power to make the world a more beautiful place. We're trying to do that by spreading joy and love for nature and by giving back to those on the ground doing the hardest part of the work.

All items in the show will be available for purchase beginning August 9th, 2025 at 8am MT. The show will be hosted here at www.kswildlifecreations.com Customers will be able to preview all items 24 hours prior to the show's opening. Items will remain active through September 6th, 2025. Any unsold items will be taken down after that date.

Please submit full photos for the listing (multiple angles, details, high resolution please) as well as item dimensions, weight (of package for shipping), description, price (in USD), and designated organization for the item's 50% donation. If you are submitting multiple items they may all support the same organization or you may designate separate organizations for each item. Please include the website for your chosen organization so it may be linked in the item description as well. You may also include any personal artist information or inspiration about your artwork in your item description. Please also submit a short description of your inspiration for the piece and any details about the piece's or your connection to your chosen organization for use in promotional posts before the event.

Artists from all levels and all mediums are welcome!

Artists have full artistic freedom for the items submitted, all I ask is that they have some inspiration from nature and/or conservation. They can be functional, sculptural, any medium, any size, it's all up to you to be inspired! I welcome artists from all backgrounds and abilities. All art must be your original art, no third party mass produced items will be accepted. Prints, stickers, or other items featuring your original artwork is acceptable.

Artists will designate their desired conservation group for the donation from their item. Groups must be tied to conservation and be a reputable organization. The goal is to have a wide range of groups represented, from local to global, whatever each artist feels best fits with their artwork or personal connections to conservation. All artists will be required to donate 50% of the listed price to their designated organization.

Artists have full control over setting the price for their artwork. US shipping rates are included in the listing price so please price your work accordingly. Orders being shipped outside the US will have a calculated shipping rate at checkout and the artist will be paid this fee as part of their payout for the artwork.

Artists are responsible for shipping their artwork, I will not be collecting any items for the show. After an order is placed the artist will receive an e-mail with the customer's shipment information and contact information to ship the order. Artists are responsible for properly shipping and insuring their artwork to the customer. Artists are asked to ship all orders within 7 days of purchase and provide tracking information for the shipment.

Artists will be paid for their artwork, minus 3% of the listing price per item (to cover transaction fees). Artist will be paid within 7 days of sale of their artwork. Artists will be paid to their submitted PayPal or Venmo account.

Artists are asked to make their donations within 7 days of issuing funds and are asked to provide proof of donation to KS Wildlife Creations.

Artists will receive promotional images to share on social platforms and any other way they see fit. Each artist will receive a promotional post by KS Wildlife Creations on Instagram @kelseyceramics highlighting their submitted work and the conservation organization they have chosen to support.  Artists will be tagged in posts and will be asked to share to their personal platforms as well.  To help spread the word, we ask that all participating artists use The Art of Conservation social media graphics designed specifically for the event. We've provided them in multiple formats—square, portrait, and reel/story sizes—so you can choose the one that resonates most with you or mix them up! If you're sharing process work or finished pieces on your social channels, we encourage you to incorporate the promotional materials in a way that feels natural to you. Additionally, consider reaching out to your conservation donation recipient to see if they can help amplify the event by sharing details with their audience. The more we spread the word, the more funds we can raise for conservation—let’s make an impact together!

All participating artists will receive additional information about final logistics via e-mail by July 26th.
