Artists spotlight for refuge event
JOE HAUTMAN
The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge will welcome wildlife artists Joe, Jim and Bob Hautman to its Art in the Wild on Oct. 21 in the Visitor & Education Center. Among the three Minnesota brothers, they have chalked up 15 Federal Duck Stamp wins. In addition to presentations and duck stamp signings beginning at 10 a.m., they will mount an exhibition of their original works from now through Oct. 29 in the Visitor & Education Center Auditoriums. Proceeds from the exhibit will benefit refuge conservation research and education programming. For more information on purchasing the artwork, contact DDWS Associate Director Ann-Marie Wildman at 239-789-8991.
