Re-Inhabiting Conservation: Gallery Reception

Sunday, June 14, 2026

3:00 – 5:00 PM

GoggleWorks Center for the Arts | Schmidt Gallery
Step into a powerful intersection of art, science, and environmental storytelling at the gallery reception for Re-Inhabiting Conservation: Using Art to Bring Wildlife Conservation Closer to Home.
Presented in collaboration with Creature Conserve, this international exhibition brings together the work of 38 visual artists and 13 writers from 11 countries, all exploring how art informed by science can advance wildlife conservation.
Some draw attention to barriers and limitations, while others point to a hopeful future in which we all become part of the solution. Collectively, they urge us to actively commit to caring for the animals, habitats, and natural resources around us.
Through a range of mediums and perspectives, the exhibition challenges us to rethink our relationship with the natural world and consider what it truly means to “re-inhabit” our environments—with intention, responsibility, and care.
Join us for an afternoon of meaningful conversation, artistic exploration, and community connection. Meet fellow art lovers, engage with the work, and experience how art can help bridge the gap between human impact and ecological responsibility.
Free and open to the public

Light refreshments will be available
The exhibition will be on view May 22 through July 26, 2026, offering visitors continued opportunities to explore this thought-provoking body of work.
Also, Join us for Live Birds of Prey Demo Presented by Hawk Mountain before the reception at 2pm
