Celebration of the Land: Scenes at Whiterock Conservancy

This art exhibition highlights the work of Gary Hoff.

The Whiterock Nature Conservancy is an Iowa treasure. Situated on the Middle Raccoon River near Coon Rapids, the Conservancy comprises more than 5000 acres of river, wetlands, prairie and oak savannah. In two decades, the Conservancy has worked to conserve virgin river and bottomland, restore prairies, and educate Iowa and the world.

Gary had the privilege of being an Artist in Residence at Whiterock in 2022 and again in 2023. These paintings, some completed during the residency, others in the studio, show how varied and special these lands remain. Hoff's purpose with this show is to stimulate fellow Iowans to visit, assist in the missions of Whiterock, and spread the word. Celebration of the Land: Scenes at Whiterock Conservancy will be on display through April 25 during Nature Center Hours. For additional information, please contact Missy Smith at 323-5317.
