The Art of Adventure Feature documentary

Earth Day Special Screening + Live Interview & The Rover Boys Book Launch

Join us for a special Earth Day screening of The Art of Adventure, the award-winning documentary that tells the extraordinary true story of wildlife artist Robert Bateman and biologist Bristol Foster.

In 1957, the two young Canadians set out on a daring global expedition in a rugged Land Rover they called The Grizzly Torque. What began as an adventurous road trip became the foundation of a lifelong commitment to environmental advocacy — one through art, the other through science.

Blending archival footage, breathtaking landscapes, and reflections from Bateman and Foster now in their 90s, The Art of Adventure is an exhilarating road movie, an endearing story of friendship, and a powerful environmental love letter.

Following the screening, author Paul Gilbert will join us for a live interview and audience Q&A to launch his new book, The Rover Boys, which brings the Bateman/Foster journey vividly to life. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.

Celebrate Earth Day with an inspiring evening of film, conversation, and reflection on the power of creativity, courage, and environmental stewardship.
