    Celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of geckos as seen through the eyes of local artists. The Academy is partnering with Nexus/Foundation for Today’s Art to bring the gecko to life through contemporary artwork created specifically for this exhibit by Nexus members. There also will be a separate art exhibit and sale of art created by professional and amateur artists using pre-made gecko sculptures that can be purchased in the Academy gift shop. Take a class on how to draw geckos. Learn about gecko adaptations at our Science Live Station. See a live animal demonstration and make a gecko craft to take home.
