Through the Eyes of the Piping Plovers: The Flora, Fauna and Communities of the Lake Plain is a special art and education exhibition presented by Lake County Audubon Society and its Sharing Our Shore–Waukegan initiative. The exhibition celebrates the return of endangered Great Lakes Piping Plovers to nest in Waukegan and explores the rich plant and wildlife communities that share this unique Lake Michigan shoreline habitat.
Featuring work from more than 50 artists and over 140 pieces of art, including painting, photography, sculpture, and ceramics, the show brings together art, science, and community to tell the story of the Lake Plain ecosystem. Interactive educational displays highlight migration, conservation challenges, and the volunteers and researchers working to support threatened and endangered birds.
The exhibition opens February 27 with a free public reception from 5:00–7:30 pm at the Robert T. Wright Gallery of Art in Grayslake and will remain on view through March 31.
