Return to the Wild Exhibit by Jackie Robidoux: July 8-August 29 at the McLane Center in Concord

Art exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

Exhibit Description: These images celebrate the wildlife that has found refuge at the Millstone Wildlife Center. Each animal, cared for with gentle hands, holds a special place in our hearts. Look into their eyes, and you’ll glimpse a connection beyond words. There’s a quiet, bittersweet ache in watching a healed creature return to the wild, relief in its freedom, and hope for its future. These animals remind us of the delicate balance of nature and the importance of coexisting with our wild neighbors, whose homes are often right in our own backyards.

A portion of this exhibit’s proceeds will support the vital conservation efforts of New Hampshire Audubon as well as the Millstone Wildlife Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured and orphaned wildlife back into their natural habitats.
