July 2024 events

An older person and younger person smile through circular openings in a large painted signboard. The board says 'Having a BEE-utiful Day at the Birds of Vermond Museum'. The openings are the centers of two big yellow flowers; other flowers, a monarch butterfly, and a honeybee are painted on the board.

On beyond birds! Birds are not alone on the world, so take some time to explore other creatures of beauty, purpose, and oddity. Come to a butterfly (and other bugs) walk with the Vermont Entomological Society. Meet artists at the Power of Perspective reception. And of course, end the month with the bird monitoring walk.

The Museum is open Wednesday – Sunday, 10 am – 4 pm (but we are closed July 4th). The trails are open sunrise to sunset, every day. Libraries have passes, and admission is always free for members (https://birdsofvermont.org/membership/).

World Nature Conservation Day

Do you do individual things to lower your impact? Do you get together with others to create and press for conservation policy, legislation, and mass action?

Take today to honor our efforts so far, learn about another way to conserve nature, and talk to friends about what we’ll do next!

It’s a good world, and we like being here with birds and more. Let’s take good care of it.

Artist Reception for “the Power of Perspective”

A hand-woven tapestry showing a dark-haired girl in a rainbow skirt flying over a park with birds, bicyclists, pod, paths, trees. She flies without wings or devices. The view is from above the girl, who is facing the park below her. The weaving is still on the loom. Work copyright © 2024 by Alison Forrest and shown here with permission.

This year, we invited artists in all media to shift their usual perspective to show people something different, something wonderful about birds and their ways of being in the world.  The result is The Power of Perspective: shifting points of view. If you haven’t already visited our show, come discover the power of an eagle’s gaze, the imagination of a girl in flight, the physical and metaphysical roles of different birds, a wavelength-shift from our eyes to another’s, and much more.

Our low-key informal reception for our 2024 show, The Power of Perspective: shifting points of view will be in the afternoon of July 18. Several of the artists will be here are well.

Explore visual and written art at your own pace, meet creators, be inspired, ask questions, and browse through the book of artists’ statements. You are welcome to come early to the Museum and stay for the reception; come at the time of the reception; or just drop in part way through.

Included with Museum admission, but donations welcome. Please register! If we know how many people are coming , we will have enough refreshments, chairs, and so on.

Although the art is indoors, the reception will be generally outdoors, weather permitting.
