Opening Reception: Our Neighbors
Event Navigation
“Our Neighbors: Paintings About Minnesota’s Threatened and Endangered Animals” is an exhibit of paintings by Adam Swanson that depict scenes addressing some of the ecological challenges facing animal species native to Minnesota, including large-scale loose representational work about current ecological research around Minnesota. The installation includes conservation information and celebrates the roles these animals have in the ecosystem, the role humanity is playing in its possible extinction, and some of the hopeful things people are doing to change course.
The goal of the works is to give voice to a larger portion of a growing list of threatened and endangered animals of Minnesota. There will be a presentation by Monarch Butterfly Conservation Specialist Samantha Smingler at 6 p.m.
