Wings • Waters • Ways : 2026 art show continues (June)

A woodcarving of a female Labrador Duck is viewed from underneath "water" as she "swims". She has light buffy brown plumage and an orangeish bill. The water surface is made of semi-transparent plexiglass. A pale mural of the Labrador coast is partially visible in the background. Lettering across the image says "Wings • Water • 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.

The show is open when the Museum is (Wednesday – Sundays, May 1 – October 31) and is included with admission. Admission is free for members.

“The Gift of Art” show continues (April)

Watercolor painting (excerpt): shows a white woman in a yellow shirt looking upward through binoculars. The point-of-view is from above, so only her head and arms are clear.

“The Gift of Art” show continues (March)

A geodesic multi-colored sphere is ringed by a rail and wire fence, and then by a rainbow, on a saky-blue background. Many Bobolinks (a black and white bird with yellow nape) emerge in a spiral from the geodesic world and fly out and in front of the fence and the rainbow.
