Wings • Waters • Ways
How do artists perceive birds, waters, and the ways we interact? As you view the exhibit, consider recent history and the ways we tell it; the much-longer history of humans on the landscape in the Green Mountains and Champlain Valley; and the much, much, much longer stories of how birds have evolved with, use, and been influenced by water and waterways. This is the brief for our 2026 art exhibit. Almost 60 pieces were selected out of over 200 submitted.
The show is open when the Museum is (Wednesday – Sundays, May 1 – October 31) and is included with admission. Admission is free for members.
