Rotary Club of Lethbridge East renews support for Inspired by Nature

We are proud to recognize the support of the ‘Inspired by Nature: Youth Art Exhibition’ by the Rotary Club of Lethbridge East!

Since 2016 the Rotary Club of Lethbridge East has supported a youth art exhibition at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre. Originally under the ‘Get to Know’ banner and part of an international competition that encouraged youth to spend more time outside. After two years of collaboration it was decided to shift efforts to be more locally-focused.

This resulted in the ‘Inspired by Nature: Youth Art Exhibition!’ Over the past five years we have been fortunate to showcase 177 up-and-coming youth artists!!

We are proud to work with Rotary Club of Lethbridge East and Helen Schuler Nature Centre to present the work of the next generation of artists. This annual showcase of creative expressions from youth aged 18 and under will be on display in the Community Art Gallery at the Nature Centre again in fall 2022.

Youth artists are invited to “find their muse” in nature, then create something that would inspire others to spend more time outside. Submissions can be mixed media, including: art, music, photography, videography, or writing. Read more about Inspired by Nature.

We appreciate Rotary Club of Lethbridge East’s support of Youth Environmental Programs in Lethbridge! Thank you for your leadership in making this amazing partnership possible!!!
