Coming Soon to the SNC Exhibition Wall

We're excited to welcome Wild Tendencies, a new exhibition by local artist Suzanne Gaffney Beason, to the Sterling Nature Center.

Featuring a collection of colorful floral paintings, this exhibition celebrates the beauty, energy, and creativity found in nature. Suzanne's work will be on display from July 6 through August 31.

Join us for an Artist Reception on Sunday, July 26, from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. We hope you'll stop in, enjoy the artwork, and help us welcome Suzanne to the SNC Exhibition Wall.
