Kaiser Gallery is a relatively new gallery in Tremont, which is helping to revive the neighborhood’s status as an art destination with a unique blend of art shows, a cocktail lounge and special event such as poetry readings and drawing classes.
Over the past two years, it’s also presented a series of mostly group shows, featuring both local and out-of-town artists, on various themes. Its new show, Silent Fields, deals with a specific slice of the environmental crisis: how human activity impacts bees, essential pollinators for many crops we rely on. In recent years the bee population has been in decline and while the causes have been contested, there’s little doubt the actions of humans are driving it. The exhibit hopes to increase awareness of how essential bees are to global food security and what we can do to help them thrive.
Participating artists include Melissa Harvey, Maggie Latham, Kimit Menapace, Georgio Sabino III and David Straange. The show opens during this month’s Walkabout Tremont and will be on view through Sunday June 5.
