Marwell House
|
The
group is the largest wildlife art society in
Europe, with members from all over the UK. We also have
members from the Netherlands, Botswana, France, Italy, Greece,
Spain, USA, Australia and South Africa.
The
MIWAS annual summer exhibition of wildlife art is in August
and entry is open to all members. This show is currently
the largest annual exhibition of wildlife art in Europe
with nearly 700 exhibits displayed. There are many benefits
to being in our group, so why not join us and enjoy being
among like-minded wildlife artists from around the world?Since
forming in 1999, MIWAS have donated over £50,000 towards
Marwell's ongoing work with endangered species |
|
Founded
The
Marwell Art Society was founded in early 1999, operating
as an association of wildlife artists supporting the work
of Marwell Zoological Park in Hampshire, United Kingdom.
The group has grown rapidly to become the largest wildlife
art society in Europe with well over 300 members. In 2004,
their title was changed to 'Marwell International Wildlife
Art Society' (MIWAS) in order to more accurately reflect
the composition and needs of the members. In late 2005,
the art society became independent from Marwell (though
still supporting their aims and working with them).
