DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year 2023

David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF) is delighted to welcome you to their annual DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year Exhibition 2023, taking place at the Mall Galleries, London.

DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year is an internationally renowned wildlife art competition and exhibition, which each year attracts entries from some of the most talented artists around the globe, who come together to celebrate the beauty of the natural world. 

What to expect:

Discover recycled plastic sculptures, intricate pencil drawings, vast oil paintings, and everything in between – you’ll find an unbridled passion for the world’s wildlife on display. You can also look forward to an exciting week of art and conservation activities throughout the exhibition. 

With entry income and 50% of the proceeds from all artwork sales supporting DSWF and their ground-based conservation partners, this exhibition highlights how we can use art to create something powerful and ignite the conversation about conservation. 

DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year has become one of the most noteworthy events in the art calendar, often being referred to as the ‘Oscars of international wildlife art.’ Playing an integral role in helping to maintain the Art of Survival legacy of DSWF’s founder, David Shepherd CBE, Wildlife Artist of the Year utilises the power of art to celebrate wildlife, support awareness and raise funds for endangered species across Africa and Asia. 

Whilst tickets to the DSWF Wildlife Artist of the Year 2023 exhibition are free of charge, the charity does ask that guests donate a small entrance fee on the door to support their life saving work, protecting endangered species and the continuation of this prestigious competition.
