The money was raised by the eighth Great Hollow Juried Art Show 2025 to support Great Hollow’s environmental education, research and conservation initiatives. 

“The Gate House Barn was full of wonderful paintings and photographs again this year. We love having this art show and appreciate the celebration of nature in our area while also raising important funds to support Great Hollow’s mission. We are grateful to the artists, organizers, sponsors and visitors who made the show a success,” said Chad Seewagen, executive director.
