Events

The Foundation’s mission is to fund education, research and preservation of the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve (SRPER). Events are a key component to the Foundation’s fundraising activities and we hope you will participate in all the fun opportunities to support the Foundation.

Annual Art Show
August 8 - September 26, 2010 at the Visitor's Center
For the past twelve years, the Reserve has hosted a summer art show that has grown in popularity as it has increased the kinds of art exhibited. Beginning in 1997 as a photography exhibition, the annual artistic showcase has featured oil, pastel, watercolor and acrylic paintings, along with bronze sculptures, paper collages, and an assortment of photos in as many styles and techniques as can be imagined. Art show benefits children's education programs at the Reserve.
