You are invited to a low-key informal afternoon reception to celebrate 2025 art show, Birds and Myth: meanings, metaphors and guides.

Explore visual and written art at your own pace, meet creators, be inspired, ask questions, and browse through the book of artists’ statements. Examine art, thoughts, or discuss meanings with other visitors and artists. What myths with and about birds inform you, challenge you, guide you?

You are welcome to come early to the Birds of Vermont Museum and stay for the reception; come at the time of the reception; or just drop in part way through.

Please register! If we know how many people are coming , we will have enough refreshments, chairs, and so on. Call the museum at 802 434-2167 or register online. Included with Museum admission, but donations online or at the door are very welcome. Museum admission is free for members.
