Step into a world where art and science intertwine, as Oikonos and the Seymour Marine Discovery Center proudly present "The Winged Sentinels of Monterey Bay," a free-to-attend art exhibition. 

This art show will unveil the work of talented local artists who have immersed themselves in the ecologic wonders of Año Nuevo Island. Through their creations, they have captured the essence of the iconic local seabirds, presenting them through their unique artistic lenses.

Seabirds are top marine predators that stand as sentinels of our environment by being important environmental indicator species, providing valuable insights into the health of our marine ecosystems. We will delve into the depths of seabird ecology and their vital role in shaping the web of life at Año Nuevo Island, exploring the intricate connections between these majestic creatures and the delicate balance of lower food chain species that sustain them.

We hope you will join us on First Friday, July 7th, 2023 for a night of beautiful art, appetizers, science, and fun!
