Les Kouba: The Grandfather of Wildlife Art
Best known for some of the most popular Duck Stamps, Les Kouba’s painting and watercolor images popularized wildlife in the early 70s and remain a household name for wildlife and nature art aficionados.
Showcase Your Work
At the Kouba Gallery, we are exploring the evolving human relationship with art. We are looking to collaborate with both artists and curators. If you are equally interested in nature, conservation, and the human role — come work with us on a future show!
Our Location
You can find us at 6601 Auto Club Road! This is the home of the Minnesota Valley Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America. As a program of the Chapter, the Kouba Gallery expands the Chapter’s mission to conserve, restore, and promote the sustainable use and enjoyment of our natural resources.
(We are also proud to share the space with the Green Crew, our award-winning youth-led enviromental leadership and conservation service program!)
