WILDLIFE EXHIBIT, 1994

The Wildlife exhibition (October 1 - December 24, 1994) at the California Center for the Arts Museum brought together a diverse selection of artists who explored themes of nature, animals, and the human relationship with the natural world. Through paintings, sculptures, and installations, the exhibit examined how wildlife is depicted and interpreted across various artistic lenses, focusing on both reverence for and critique of humanity’s interaction with animals and ecosystems.
