Creative Conservation: A Celebration of Art and Nature

Art You Ready for an Inspiring Evening?

At the intersection of art, nature, community, and wellbeing, Creative Conservation on October 1, 2026 celebrated the regional artists whose work honors the natural resources and local communities of the Chesapeake Bay, Coastal Bays, and Youghiogheny watersheds.

Thank you to the 46 artists who who shared their unique talents to visualize what makes our region so special. The Chesapeake Bay Trust received a portion of the proceeds from sales through the online gallery, meaning every work of art sold helped us protect and restore our natural resource treasures.

The event reflected the heart of the Chesapeake Bay Trust’s mission. From restoring shorelines and wildlife habitats to planting rain gardens and painting community murals, we bring people together and champion their ideas for the places they call home, inspiring lifelong stewards and lasting change.
