Spineless: Portraits of Marine Invertebrates – The Backbone of Life
Photos by Susan Middleton
Parents and children are invited to a free family event at the Schaefer International Gallery in connection with the gallery’s current exhibit, Spineless.
Acclaimed photographer, Susan Middleton, who is well known for the exhibitions Archipelago and Remains of a Rainbow,
brings us a new body of work exploring the mysterious world of marine invertebrates-underwater animals without backbones. More than 98% of known species in the ocean are invertebrates, yet as the foundation for life in marine waters, they are relatively unknown. Her images in this exhibit capture the unexpected beauty and intimacy of this realm of life. With a deep passion and investment in time and research she reveals astonishing creatures we may never get to see. Something that gallery visitors of all ages will appreciate!
Attendees at Saturday’s event can walk through the exhibit and then participate in an art activity offering the kids an opportunity to make their own sea creature to take home.
Join us for a morning of exploration, learning, and fun! Explore our crop fields, plant nursery, composting zone, and meet and feed our friendly farm animals including pigs, goats, rabbits, and chickens. All families and individuals are welcome!
Featuring crafts, games and story time for keiki 3-12 years of age. There is no reservation required and activities are FREE of charge. Keiki will also receive a Maui Friends of the Library coupon which they can redeem for a free book at their library (located QKC East Wing). Keiki will also receive a coupon for FREE frozen yogurt from Sweet Frog Maui (located in the Food Court.)
