Visitors are invited to our low-key meet-artists reception for our 2026 show, Wings • Waters • Ways, on the afternoon of July 16.
Explore visual and written art at your own pace, meet creators, be inspired, ask questions, and browse through the book of artists’ statements. Examine written and visual, flat and three-dimensional words in many media. Consider waters, wings, and ways of interaction… and discuss these ideas with other visitors and artists. Read more about the show in our blog, at https://birdsofvermont.org/2026/05/15/wings-waters-ways-2026-community-art-show/
