Are you looking for something to do this weekend? Don’t miss your last chance to see the Lost Birds and the Art of Conservation exhibition at the Savanna Gallery at the @phoenixzoo this weekend! The exhibition will be up until May 30, 2022. The Lost Bird Project is an acclaimed sculpture installation by artist and sculptor Todd McGrain, featuring five extinct North American bird species — the passenger pigeon, great auk, Labrador duck, Carolina parakeet and heath hen. The Project uses art to raise awareness of vanished species and inspire a greater connection and stronger relationship with the Earth. The Lost Bird Project’s magnificent bronze sculptures will be displayed throughout the Zoo, with prints and photographs featured inside the Savanna Gallery. The breathtaking works of artists Charles Thomas and Katherine Cudney complement the importance of the conservation message of The Lost Bird Project. Thomas’ landscapes pay tribute to the varied habitats that are vital to the preservation of species. Cudney‘s works highlight species brought back from the brink of extinction and the hope that their conservation success stories provide. Both artists’ artwork will be for sale with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the non-profit Phoenix Zoo. #artlinkphx #phxzoo For more info check out https://www.phoenixzoo.org/events/art-on-the-wild-side/
