The Ella Carothers Dunnegan Gallery of Art, The Wildlife Experience, and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum are noteworthy museums that have hosted such notable traveling museum exhibitions as Art and the Animal of The Society of Animal Artists, Blossom ~ Art of Flowers sponsored by The Susan Kathleen Black Foundation, Exquisite Miniatures by Wes and Rachelle Siegrist, and Paws and Reflect: Art of Canines, all of which have toured under the auspices of David J. Wagner, L.L.C. The Dunnegan has also had a tradition of hosting park art exhibits, notably, AMERICA’S PARKS I and ARTS FOR THE PARKS. A special encore edition of AMERICA'S PARKS II will be displayed in 2015 - 2016 at the St. George Art Museum near the entrance to Zion National Park in Utah. Coincidentally, David J. Wagner proposed the very first tour of the ARTS FOR THE PARKS exhibition, served as a Juror for that exhibit, managed the ARTS FOR THE PARKS tour for its first five years (1988–93), and served on the Advisory Board of its parent organization, the National Park Art Academy. AMERICA’S PARKS Through the Beauty of Art is an entirely new initiative, produced by David J. Wagner, L.L.C.
