‘Coyote Connections’ featured in ‘Artscope’ magazine

The "Coyote Connections" exhibition at 91AV’s Portland Art Gallery was the focus of an article published in the November-December 2014 issue of Artscope, a culture magazine of New England.

According to the article, co-curators of the exhibition Geri Vistein, a conservation biologist, and Anne Zill, director of the Art Gallery, chose the coyote as the subject because "it is a bridge between the art audiences who frequent the 91AV art gallery and state residents who have also encountered the animal."  

Vistein and Zill hope, says the article, to "bring awareness to the need for co-existence with this creature in the Maine ecosystem and to demonstrate the power of art in bridging art and science in their community."
