To celebrate the final week of gloria galvez’s exhibition, ‘home is where the bat is’ at , we’ve organized a day of fun and educational activities for the whole family!
🦇
10 - 2pm
Bring the little ones for an art activity focused on bat’s ecosystems, sow the seeds of plants that attract food sources for bats (and take your future seedings home to plant in your own garden!)
11 - 2pm
Take a moment to record your observations and perceptions in the park! Join Brian Young of in a habitat journaling and sketching exercise. Young integrates art and natural history in his work and leads Nature Nexus Institute’s nature storytelling efforts through video, art, and music, capturing student and community connections to nature. He helps lead students in NNI education programs and community volunteers during habitat restoration events. He holds a degree in art from UC Santa Cruz and has over a decade of experience in restoration and education programming.

gloria galvez is an artist, educator, organizer, and nature steward whose artistic practice zig-zags across drawing, video, sculpture, and communal experiences — while every so often interweaving into these forms and their making, community organizing and citizen science insights and frameworks. Within this practice, her current focus invokes alternate and simultaneous realities that prompt rebellious and revealing questions about the current social-political conditions of things – both living and nonliving things – both human and non-human things.
