SUMMARY:Birds and Myth art show continues (September)
DESCRIPTION:Birds and Myth continues in September! Visit often\, as some works are for sale and may go to new homes during the season. \nBirds are some of our teachers\, not only through our senses and observations\, but also through our stories about them. These stories can be factual accounts\, broader myths\, or something in between. Legends\, beliefs\, representations\, truth\, insight\, guidance\, metaphors\, meanings\, and understandings all play a part. \nThe Birds of Vermont Museum’s 2025 art show is centered on the ideas of birds\, myth\, meanings\, metaphors\, and guides. We called for art that brings birds and their meanings to retell an old story\, weaves several together\, represents beliefs\, and/or creates a myth for the future. \nThe show is open when the Museum is (Wednesday – Sundays\, May 1 – October 31) and is included with admission. Admission is free for members. \nExhibiting artists and writers:\nAlice C (Burlington )\nAlison Forrest (Huntington)\nAlyssa B (Colchester)\nAmanda Makepeace (Watkinsville\, GA)\nAnita Michele (Swanton)\nAnnette Goyne (Richford)\nAprille Soons Palmer (South Hero)\nCat McKeen (Essex Junction)\nChris Selin (South Burlington)\nDara Theodora (Fairfax)\nDeana Allgaier (Huntington)\nDeb Runge (Williston)\nDenise Letendre (Castleton)\nElisabeth Mazzilli (Moretown)\nElodie Parthenay (Longueuil\, QC)\nGreg Didyoung (Wilmington)\nHannah Mahar (Grand Isle)\nHeather Rusch Zelonis (Bristol)\nHenry S (Jericho)\nJamie Quint (Richmond)\nJennefer Jolls (Williamstown)\nJessica Wilson (Saint Albans)\nJo Marsan (Johnson)\nJoAnne Wazny (Enosburg Falls)\nJudy Crocker (Burlington )\nJulia S C (South Hero)\nJulie Dunigan (South Hero)\nKarla Van Vliet (Bristol)\nKatrina Meyers (Colchester)\nKay Johnson (Hinesburg)\nKristen Donegan (Essex)\nKristin Dexter (Essex Junction)\nLily Hinrichsen (Bristol)\nLisa Acerbo (Trumbull\, CT)\nMarcia Vogler (Charlotte)\nMiriam Adams (Hinesburg)\nNancy Leeman (Huntington)\nNancy Stone (Williston)\nNicole Gadouas (Swanton)\nOlin P (Middlebury)\nPatrick McAllister (Burlington )\nPedro Salas (Starksboro )\nPeter Aldrich (Essex Junction)\nRichard Crocker (Burlington )\nSandra Morris (East Middlebury)\nSandra VanVooren (East Hartford\, CT)\nSarah Rosedahl (North Hero)\nSteven Farrar (Richmond)\nTheo Chang Andreu (South Burlington)\nTodd Kiel (Bolton)\nTonya Whitney (Williston)\nTricia Knoll (Williston)\nViviane P (Richmond)\nWilliam Chaiken\n

SUMMARY:CANCELLED : Meander for Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:We’re sorry but we have had to cancel this event. We hope to offer it again sometime! \nIt’s widely known that some fungi are decomposers\, but did you know that they can also eat plastic\, clean up oil spills\, hunt for prey\, and enable trees to talk to each other? \nJoin mycology educator\, macro photographer\, and author Meg Madden on a mushroom curiosity walk to learn more about the lives of these fascinating organisms. On this walk we will explore the woods and talk about the mushrooms we find along the way including what they are and how to identify them. \nFrom building soil to connecting trees\, we will go over the essential roles that fungi play within their natural communities. From environmental remediation to mycelium-based green building materials\, we’ll also learn about some of the unique ways fungi can help us navigate our way in a more planet-friendly manner. \nMeg will also discuss the importance of community science\, how you can contribute to Vermont’s growing database of fungi species on iNaturalist\, and share tips and tricks for taking scientific grade mushroom photos. \nWear comfortable walking shoes\, weather-appropriate clothing\, and bring your questions and curiosity! A smartphone equipped with the iNaturalist app is a plus\, but not required. \nSigned copies of Meg’s new book\, This Is A Book For People Who Love Mushrooms is available for purchase in the Musuem’s Gift Shop. \nNote: this is NOT a foraging program.\n \nAbout Meg Madden\nFungi educator\, author\, and professional photographer\, Meg Madden can often be found in the forests of her childhood practicing what she calls “mushroom yoga” — laying on the ground\, standing on her head\, or balancing precariously on a log — to capture the perfect snail’s-eye view of her favorite photo subject: Fungi! Her colorful\, highly detailed mushroom portraits offer an intimate look into the often-overlooked world of these extraordinary organisms. \nInspired by the belief that people are more likely to take care of something they love\, she finds great joy in facilitating fun and meaningful connections between humans and nature. Meg shares her knowledge and contagious passion for the fantastic world of fungi through visually engaging presentations\, mushroom walks\, and via her Instagram gallery @megmaddendesign. An advocate for fungal diversity and community science\, Meg teaches iNaturalist classes\, organizes educational workshops and Bioblitzes\, and is compiling an Atlas Of Fungi for the state of Vermont. \nwww.instagram.com/megmaddendesign/\nlinktr.ee/MegMadden
