Nature Artists' Guild

The Nature Artists' Guild (NAG) of The Morton Arboretum is a special interest group of the Arboretum. The Guild is a not-for-profit organization, developed to gather together people of like interests to explore and share more deeply the field of natural history art.

There are six formal meetings annually: the first Thursday of February, April, June, August, October, and December, from 7-9 p.m., at The Morton Arboretum.

Guild membership entitles members to receive publications such as the Nature Artist Quarterly, which includes educational and informative articles as well as photos of members' art work; the Nature Artists' Guild Bulletin, a newsletter which comes out every two or three months and is an update of activities members can participate in including current news of exhibits of interest; and the Yearbook, which contains the year's calendar and directory.

A spring and fall exhibit are held at The Morton Arboretum each year. Viewing the exhibit is free; however, non-members of The Morton Arboretum will pay a Gatehouse Fee for admittance to the grounds.

Membership is open to all who are interested in natural history art. It is separate from an Arboretum membership. To join, send your check for $45.00 annual dues, payable to the Nature Artists' Guild, to:
