The special art exhibit “Through the Eyes of the Piping Plovers: the Flora, Fauna and People of the Waukegan Shores,” presented by Lake County Audubon/Sharing Our Shore-Waukegan, shares the beauty and fragility of the endangered Great Lakes Piping Plovers with the community.

Join us for the opening reception and an exploration of the themes of Habitat, Piping Plovers, Migration, and Community. Through the use of watercolor paintings, photographs and interactive information panels, the exhibit highlights the need to protect a unique habitat that supports a rich biodiversity - including human life - and connect our community to this local success story. Featuring artwork by Heeyoung Kim and the Brushwood Botanical Artists, Photographer Steve Jessmore and the Sharing Our Shore-Waukegan Monitoring Team.
