Join the California Nature Art Museum as they bring the important topic of pollinators to their gallery featuring original art by Ava Roth, Elizabeth Weber, Susan McDonnell, and Cynthia James.Each artist brings a unique perspective to their pollinating subjects.

The Museum is delighted to also be collaborating with the Cheadle Center For Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration at UC Santa Barbara. The Cheadle Center’s contribution is focused on native bees, including high-resolution images of rare, local bees from the UCSB Natural History Collection and images of bees visiting flowers of native plants for an up-close look at their beauty and biodiversity.

Cheadle Center Director, Katja Seltmann, a bee biologist, will present a performative discussion and Q&A about bee natural history that includes bees for viewing under the microscope and music.

Additional programming will be announced soon.
