“The Gift of Art” is our off-season art show.
This often-changing slightly-random exhibit displays varied works from previous shows, selections from our gift shop, and elements of our long-term collections. See how art weaves together myriad media, styles, and visions. What’s present in March may be quite different from what we place in November, so consider a repeat visit!
Explore previous themes, find a gift for someone, and celebrate art in our lives.
Open when the Museum is : From Nov 1 – April 30, that’s by appointment and for special events. Included with admission.
Creatives of all sorts might enjoy our past calls to artists (browse https://birdsofvermont.org/tag/call-to-artists/). Email us if you’d like to receive the next one!

November is mostly behind-the-scenes month. We have a lot to be thankful for, this month, and will post about all sorts of amazing people, places, and phenomena on instagram, facebook, and/or bluesky. We are open by appointment while we take the time to move art around, build the annual appeal, work on our newsletters, and update and invent new traveling exhibits. We have a few events, of course!
=== NOVEMBER EVENTS ===
In October, we head out to Dead Creek, keep showing art, check out trees, hang out with carvers, and sit with birders. Join us!

Arts events are the big focus in July, with a concert, a workshop, and a reception. If you need something a bit more detailed, try the Butterfly and Big Walk. If you want quiet reflection, there’s another Forest Sit. Need to stomp some feet? Drop by the Blues for Breakfast concert at the Huntington Rec Field.
