Re-Inhabiting Conservation: Our Shared Skies

Alexa Brooks drew a landscape of wind turbines in a pair of graphite drawings and turned the towers and blades into something like lace. The curators chose it for what sits under the prettiness: those turbines kill birds and bats.

Everything here is about things that fly: birds, insects, even mammals. Creature Conserve, a Rhode Island nonprofit that brings artists, scientists and writers together, picked over two dozen artists and writers from six countries, and each work takes a different angle on conservation. You move from Christopher Brinkman's photographs of wildlife rehabilitation to Catie Michel's 36-inch-square panel, where caterpillars on their host plants get the spotlight usually given to butterflies.

Go for art built on science, and expect a message too: the gallery says the works "urge us to actively commit" to caring for wildlife. Admission is free with a suggested $10 donation, Tuesday to Friday 12 to 6 and weekends 12 to 5. On 21 November, 1 to 3pm, the gallery hosts a supper club.
