Palos Verdes Art Center is pleased to announce HABITAT CALIFORNIA: Flora & Fauna, an invitational and juried exhibition featuring the plants and wildlife of California in the shifting ecosystems they inhabit. The exhibition presents over 100 works of art in wide-ranging styles and media, including plein air landscape paintings, botanical drawings, and sculpture as well as installation art, video, film, and internet art. Topics include:

• Continuing the California Landscape and California Impressionist traditions
• The intersections of urban, suburban, and wildlife habitats
• The effects of climate change on wildlife and botanical habitat and species
• Explorations in new media featuring California flora and fauna and their ecosystems.

Contemporary works are accompanied by loans from private collections of 18th and 19th-century botanical prints and ornithologies as well as landscapes by noted early California artists, including William Wendt, Charles Reiffel, Edgar Payne, Clark Hobart, Theodore Robinson, and Ansel Adams.
