The Borrego Art Institute kicks off its 2024-2025 season Oct. 5 with “The Art of Flora and Fauna” showcasing our world’s astonishing plants, animals and elements. New and returning regional artists will present their work in a variety of mediums in the McQuown-Wermers Main Gallery. The North Gallery will feature “Starry Nights: Wildlife with a Twist,” paintings by Sarah Soward that merge the astronomy and mythology of the cosmos into wildlife paintings. Soward’s symbolic and surreal art centered on animals is an effort to elicit love and genuine concern for them. Artist Rinse de Konig’s show “Natural Impressions” will be spotlighted in the Alcove Gallery. His paintings of impressionistic scenes are “a world of color and peace,” featuring a composition that is uncomplicated but forceful through the choice of color and shape, where they become a story of their own.    The opening reception is Oct. 5 from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. The shows run through November 3. This event is part of the Borrego Springs ArtWalk. Visit: Borrego Art Institute Borrego Art Institute on Instagram and Facebook
