In addition, the Alliance created a new online searchable photo gallery for all photo submissions from previous and future exhibits. This will allow participants to more widely share their art while helping raise awareness of the Pinelands. Check out the Online Photo Gallery here.
The annual exhibit was launched in 2017 to celebrate the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the Pinelands.
