Junior Duck Stamp Exhibit on Display at Arcadia

On Display November 2-December 11, 2026

Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary in Easthampton will feature a selection of original waterfowl- themed student artwork as part of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (Mass Wildlife) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Junior Duck Stamp Program national art tour.

About the Exhibition

This traveling exhibit features selections of original works of art depicting waterfowl in their natural habitats, demonstrating both artistic talent and a knowledge of the value of wetlands for wildlife.

The Junior Duck Stamp Program was launched in 1991 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to increase young people’s awareness of the importance of wetland habitats and waterfowl conservation. The program allows students in grades K-12 to participate in a national waterfowl art competition after learning about the importance of habitat for wildlife, land stewardship, and the use of waterfowl stamps as an effective conservation measure.

About the Artists

Students from kindergarten through grade 12 from across Massachusetts submitted original works of art that were reviewed by a panel of artists and bird experts and a selection of artwork judged “Best of Show” is part of this national art tour.

Exhibit Hours

The Arcadia Visitor Center is open daily from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. This exhibit is free with sanctuary admission and free for Mass Audubon Members.
