where natural history meets art
Back to school, back to migrating… Drop by the museum in your peregrinations.
In addition to our art show and Birding Without Barriers, we also have many programs. At this time of year the museum is open from 10am – 4 pm Wednesdays – Sundays. Admission is free for members. Visit birdsofvermont.org/visit/ for more information.
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.
Show closes October 31.
Stop in to watch a wood carver at work, ask a question, or learn about this carving club.
The Green Mountain Woodcarvers will be carving in the workshop. The GMWC is a group of carvers from Vermont with members from around New England. They meet monthly for “Carve-Ins” around the State and host an annual Show and Class (in August). We’re delighted to have them at the Museum for one of their monthly meetings!
At the Carve-In, carvers talk and work on a variety of woodcarving projects. Carvers are always happy to explain how they carve and to share their expertise with others. Ask questions and become a GMWC member!

They are on Facebook too, at https://www.facebook.com/groups/486055891784569/
