I have been thinking a lot about climate change lately, possibly because of the unpredictable prespring weather. Sometimes, I’m not sure how to cope with the reality that in the not-so-distant future, seasons might be unrecognizable from those we grew up with. Art is the best way to process these feelings. If you feel the same way, you can pay a visit to the Peabody Essex Museum’s opening weekend of “Down to the Bone,” a climate change-focused exhibition. If you’re looking for something a bit lighter, you can attend a book fair or take part in a Jamaican-themed take-home dinner experience.

The exhibition features wildlife and landscape photos, drawings and lithographs, as well as sketches, that capture the impact of climate change on the planet. On Saturday, the day of the exhibition’s official opening, curators Trevor Smith and Jane Winchell will host a talk with the featured artists.
