“Under The Sheltering Sky” explores cultural narratives about nature and provides context on the life and legacy of John James Audubon. Designed to spark conversations among viewers and connect the City of New Bedford’s historic art collection to important topics of current interest, the exhibition, inspired by DATMA’s 2023 shelter theme, juxtaposes Audubon’s 19th-century prints with examples of contemporary art by Adrian Brandon, Andrea Cukier, Wardell Milan and William White.
An animal rights advocate and ardent conservationist, Andrea Cukier’s lyrical mixed media works on paper offer poetic observations of real and imagined natural landscapes.
