Every year, The Kelly holds our “Art Gone Wild” art exhibition, showcasing the truly beautiful wildlife art of our region. The Wetumpka Wildlife Arts Festival is an annual one-day festival celebrating wildlife art as well as the natural beauty of Alabama. Art appreciators and outdoor enthusiasts alike gather together for this festival. We strive every year to pack this festival full of educational presentations, art exhibits and classes, vendors, food, children’s activities, and expert demonstrations.

The Wetumpka Wildlife Arts Festival is held on a Saturday every fall in the Historic Downtown Wetumpka.

DockDogs Competition

DockDogs is the fastest growing sport on 4 legs. DockDogs is a organization created in 2000, and their open competitions allow “anyone with a dog and toy” to participate in the sport and have a chance at national recognition. DockDogs will be competing throughout the festival in three categories:

  • Big Air
  • Extreme Vertical, and
  • Speed Retrieve

Sporting Dog Demonstrations

with Covey Flush
Christopher Loizou started Covey Flush Kennels with his first cocker in 1996. Christopher concentrated on dogs with superior field trial pedigrees in an effort to bring the British legacy of fine gun dogs to the USA while striving to improve the breed. 

Animal Encounters

with Alabama Wildlife Federation
The Alabama Wildlife Federation (AWF) is the oldest and largest non-profit conservation organization in Alabama. The AWF was established by sportsmen in 1935 to promote the conservation and wise use of our wildlife and natural resources and to ensure a high quality of life for future generations of Alabamians.
