theme. We are honored to have The Wildlife Experience Executive Director, Richard Smartt, Ph.D. and Exhibits Manager, Connie Mohrman

RMSBA will post a price list and artist contact information on our web site during the exhibit so that artists can be contacted by interested buyers.

Any works sold must hang for the duration of the exhibit.
