The James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., is pleased to present Sarah Kaizar: Rare Air, an exhibition featuring original gouache and ink artwork. The work comes from the book Rare Air: Endangered Birds, Bats, Butterflies, and Bees, an illustrated work about diminishing flighted species and citizen science, authored by Sarah Kaizar with writing by A. Scott Meiser, to be published by Mountaineer Books in September 2023. The exhibition expands on the books stories and research with playful interactive installations. Rare Air connects audiences of all ages to the diversity of our ecosystems and the extraordinary creatures that populate them. Kaizars work enables audiences to recognize and appreciate the winged creatures that share our world. It offers strategies, big and small, to slow or reverse the threats that face them. Visitors will discover, explore, play, and create while learning about urgent issues in wildlife conservation. I hope that my work with endangered species will slow people down and deepen their empathy for the world that we live in, even by just a shade or two. I think these individual portraits create small spaces for a personal connection around them. Showing them collectively starts to make it feel more powerful and forces you to stop and look at them, shared Kaizar. There is a lot to discover in Kaizars meticulous, yet playful, drawings of the creatures that inhabit the air around us. Visitors will enjoy learning more about these endangered species and their fight for survival, added chief curator Laura Turner Igoe.
