"The Audubon Mural Project: Where Birds Meet Art"
The Chemung Valley Audubon Society meets on November 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the West End Room at Appleridge, 168 Miller St., Horseheads, NY. All are welcome to attend to learn about local birds, the society's projects, and how to become involved. Appleridge is wheelchair accessible. Online viewing by Zoom is also available with a request to windingwayho...@aol.com. A 7:00 p.m. Bird Identification Workshop by Bill Ostrander is followed by a brief business meeting at 7:30. Up next is "The Audubon Mural Project: Where Birds Meet Art" with Avi Gitler, who through his gallery Gitler & ______ has partnered with the project for eight years. Meeting us on a Zoom call, he will lead a virtual tour of outdoor murals showing birds perched on doors, walls and security gates throughout New York City while introducing us to artists who created them. The project is a public-art initiative of the National Audubon Society, celebrating birds amid the risks that climate change poses to both birds and people. Commissioned artists bring a broad range of styles and life experience—and lots of creativity—to their work, now numbering 100 murals and representing 138 bird species. Hope to see you, either in-person or by Zoom!
