Thanks go out to AIRIE supporters who joined us on Saturday, April 5th in the 'Glades! We heard artists talk about their work, saw a newly captured Burmese Python with volunteer biologist Skip Snow, learned about the elimination of exotic flora, and saw the Nike Missile hidden in the Hole-in-the-Donut.

Flight: Aloft in the Everglades

Flight is an exhibition of new work created by artists who participated in the AIRIE residency at Everglades National Park. The artists in the exhibition each spent a month living and working in the park, immersed in the ecological and cultural concerns of the River of Grass. Their works explore many facets of our cultural experience of nature in this World Heritage Site. In Flight, the Everglades are considered through aerial views of suburban encroachment, birds taking wing, the ethereal nature of wind, and even the stark contrast of nuclear missiles housed deep in the wilderness.
