This Saturday is full of art, nature, and community connection. 🌿🎨
We’ll be in two places throughout the day:

🕊️ Lake Michigan Bird Observatory Event
⏰ 9 AM–1 PM
Join us for a hands-on ARTservancy activity inspired by habitat, migration, and the natural world. Visitors can create simple nesting material orbs using natural fibers for birds and pollinators to use throughout the season... a small but meaningful way to support local wildlife while connecting creativity and conservation.

🎨 Port Washington Festival of the Arts
⏰ 11 AM–5 PM
Stop by our interactive community installation, Wildflower Patch. Visitors of all ages are invited to add a fabric strip to help build a growing textile-inspired landscape throughout the day. The completed collaborative artwork will be displayed at the gallery as a reflection of shared creativity and community participation.

Spend the morning with the birds, the afternoon making art downtown or join us for both.

ARTservancy Artist Spotlight:
Rebecca Jabs

We’re excited to share this beautiful feature on ARTservancy artist-in-residence Rebecca Jabs, written, photographed, and documented by Eddee Daniels for his blog, The Natural Realm.

Rebecca is one of 12 artists participating in ARTservancy, a year-long residency program now in its seventh year. A collaboration between Gallery 224 and regional conservation partners including Restoring Lands Land Trust, Milwaukee Area Land Conservancy, Tall Pines Conservancy, and Lake Michigan Bird Observatory, ARTservancy promotes the visionary work of both artists and conservationists.

Each participating artist selects a preserve to spend time in, observe, and engage with throughout the year. Rebecca’s residency site is Forest Beach Migratory Preserve, where her work explores the land, its living systems, and the layered stories found there.

Artist Sarah Gail Luther is spending this year in residence at the Eschweiler Lavery Conservancy...and what she’s finding goes beyond the landscape.

The land she’s working in is tied to her own family history, turning this residency into something much more personal.

“Can the energy and spirit of a place live within us for generations?”

That question is now shaping the work she is creating...and how she helps others experience this landscape.

We celebrate, admire, and stay inspired by the land around us this Earth Day 🌎

ARTservancy, our flagship program, is a year-long residency through Gallery 224 where artists spend time on local conservation sites, paying attention, getting curious, and letting those places shape what they create.

Their work is thoughtful, unexpected, and deeply connected to the land.

We support conservation through creativity and connection...come see what the land inspired at Gallery 224!

In these 9 towns in Wisconsin, the most interesting places are close enough together that the walk itself becomes the structure of the visit.
