SUMMARY:In the Company of Birds Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the Company of Birds by Erin Primiano \nDescription: This collection is a celebration of birds as individuals- each portrait capturing a fleeting moment of stillness\, alertness\, or quiet presence. Set against non-specific\, colorful backdrops\, the birds emerge not just as part of the landscape but as distinct subjects with stories of their own. Through a blend of naturalistic detail and artistic interpretation\, the work invites viewers to notice the subtle expression in a tilt of the head\, the glint of light on eathers\, or the hush of a gaze held still. Inspired by years of birdwatching and a deep respect for the natural world\, these paintings reflect both the joy of observation and the vulnerability of the creatures we share it with. \nExample’s of Erin’s work.\nArtist’s Bio: Erin is a New Hampshire-based artist whose work celebrates the quiet beauty and individuality of the birds. Her paintings focus on the simplicity of bird profiles\, each rendered with careful detail and set against vibrant\, abstract backgrounds that let their personalities take center stage. Inspired by years of birdwatching and a lifelong love of nature\, Erin sees each piece as a portrait- a way of honoring both the species and the singular experience of encountering it. Her work blends realism and reverence\, inviting viewers to slow down\, observe\, and reconnect with the natural world. \n  \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

SUMMARY:Hive Mind Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Massabesic Center to enjoy the Hive Mind exhibit. \nHive Mind is an exhibit based on communication and connection. For this group show\, Artists were divided into three groups\, each with a captain. The captain would present the group with an already completed work without telling them anything about the backstory or process; leaving the Artists to interpret what they perceived based on the image alone. Artists worked independently and finished the body of work\, minus the work that inspired the group\, which was given to another captain\, and they would interpret what they saw from the body of images provided. Themes and techniques were explored and all played a part in the interpretation. The finished exhibition is the full body of work from these collective Artists. \n \nNAV Arts is a group of loosely affiliated Artists\, Writers\, Musicians and Performers based in New England. Having no permanent space or gallery\, shows and exhibits are worked to different spaces\, based on a shared theme or idea. Artists of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome to take part. \n  \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

SUMMARY:Hive Mind Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Massabesic Center to enjoy the Hive Mind exhibit. \nHive Mind is an exhibit based on communication and connection. For this group show\, Artists were divided into three groups\, each with a captain. The captain would present the group with an already completed work without telling them anything about the backstory or process; leaving the Artists to interpret what they perceived based on the image alone. Artists worked independently and finished the body of work\, minus the work that inspired the group\, which was given to another captain\, and they would interpret what they saw from the body of images provided. Themes and techniques were explored and all played a part in the interpretation. The finished exhibition is the full body of work from these collective Artists. \n \nNAV Arts is a group of loosely affiliated Artists\, Writers\, Musicians and Performers based in New England. Having no permanent space or gallery\, shows and exhibits are worked to different spaces\, based on a shared theme or idea. Artists of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome to take part. \n  \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

SUMMARY:Zoom Program: Wildlife Adaptations in Winter with the Seacoast Chapter
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Program: Wildlife Adaptations in Winter \nNote: This is a program change from the previous published December program. \nContact Dan Hubbard for questions: 603-978-0218 or danielhubbard@peoplepc.com. \nSign up here. \nWildlife use various strategies to survive our cold winters\, including migration\, hibernation\, and adaptation. We will examine these strategies for local wildlife\, focusing on the adaptation strategies of ruffed grouse\, snowshoe hare\, beaver\, moose\, and others. We will discuss the role of snow and snowpack\, the trigger mechanism for shorter daylight hours on the hypothalamus\, and plant adaptations in winter. \nBio: The speaker is David Govatski from Jefferson\, NH. David retired after a 33-year career with the US Forest Service and now works as a Naturalist in New England and a ship naturalist in Alaska.

SUMMARY:In the Company of Birds Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the Company of Birds by Erin Primiano \nDescription: This collection is a celebration of birds as individuals- each portrait capturing a fleeting moment of stillness\, alertness\, or quiet presence. Set against non-specific\, colorful backdrops\, the birds emerge not just as part of the landscape but as distinct subjects with stories of their own. Through a blend of naturalistic detail and artistic interpretation\, the work invites viewers to notice the subtle expression in a tilt of the head\, the glint of light on eathers\, or the hush of a gaze held still. Inspired by years of birdwatching and a deep respect for the natural world\, these paintings reflect both the joy of observation and the vulnerability of the creatures we share it with. \nExample’s of Erin’s work.\nArtist’s Bio: Erin is a New Hampshire-based artist whose work celebrates the quiet beauty and individuality of the birds.

SUMMARY:Enchanted Owls Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Enchanted Owls by Sandra Grant \nDescription: As I walk through my woodland’s path\, listen for the sounds of the Great Horned Owl’s melody as they communicate back and forth to their mates. It’s like an enchanted forest at different times of the year when all varieties of birds are singing. \nOn a recent walk I looked in front of me and saw a fledgling owl perched on a dead log on the ground. It was a Barred Owl very young\, who may have had its first flight out of the nest and was checking out the ground around him. The next day I found on the path his sibling low in a tree learning how to hunt for food. The mother was seen with big full wings saying\, “Stay back from my nest.” It had to be close by but not to be seen. \nMy home studio is called the “Hooking Nest”\, where I watch the Red-tailed Hawks circling my bird feeders. We watch many owls around our pond hunting for small prey from the treetops. The Blue Herons and Mallards sometimes stop by for a swim. \nPlease enjoy my Owl & Raptor Fiber Art Hooked Birds. \n \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended \nBio: I have been a fiber artist for most of my life. My educational background includes a BFA and MFA in fine arts and teaching. I have worked in many different mediums over the years\, starting with drawing and painting. I continued with weaving and had a business selling my work for many years. My love of color\, yarns\, textures and fabrics continued when I stopped weaving and found “rug hooking”. I’ve studied with many well known rug hooking teachers around the country\, learning various different  techniques from each unique artist. All of which has contributed to my fiber birds over the past years. \nI came to realize that rug hooking was a more versatile medium allowing me to create my own colors of dyed wool and yarns. I could add other materials\, like velvets\, metallics\, beads\, novelty fur yarns\, feathers\, etc. I could draw my own subjects and I could make them 3/D if I chose that look. I can work on small or very large pieces. The options are open to create whatever the artist chooses. Also\, the ease of going back and taking out something you don’t like or add more embellishments when finished is so helpful when your creating. \nMost of my recent work is of birds of all kinds. Raptors and all Water birds are high on my list to create.  I live by the water and see so many water birds. I also spent time at VINS\, watching and photographing owls. \nI was chosen as the featured artist in 2022\, at the GMRHG exhibit. I am the Education Chair for GMRHG and teach beginner rug hooking in Vermont Libraries and other Craft centers. My work can be seen on the GMRHG site virtual show. \nI am a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and show in their annual craft shows. In 2019 my piece\, “Bucky the Blue Heron” was chosen as the cover for the show and the featured piece of the show\, along with being printed on their annual tee shirts to sell. I have won best in show awards at NH League exhibits and at the Deerfield\, NH and Tunbridge\, VT\, sheep and wool festivals. My profile and work can be seen on the NH League web site. \nI have been in Celebration’s magazine 3 times and had a write up in Rug Hooking Magazine\, in 2020\, with my Pelican featured on the cover. I currently sell my work through the NH League Craft shops and at Village Art Gallery in Warren\, VT.

DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, we talked about trees that drop their leaves in the autumn. However\, some trees keep their leaves throughout the year\, and will stay green — even in wintertime! Join New Hampshire Audubon at the John Brockway Nature Preserve in Hopkinton to explore nature with your 3-5 year old as we look at the evergreen wonder of coniferous trees. \nPrograms will begin at 10 a.m. and last about 45 minutes each. \nThis is an outdoor location with no bathroom facilities. Please dress children for the weather and be ready to walk on the trail\, sit on logs and the ground\, and dig in the dirt! \nPrograms will be cancelled if poor weather is predicted during the program time; participants will be notified by phone of cancellations. \nTo find the meeting circle\, park at the Brockway Nature Preserve parking area along Farrington Corners Road in Hopkinton\, then follow the entrance trail across the bridge to the circle. For detailed directions\, search for Brockway Pond on Google Maps\, or visit here. \nThis program is free\, with a suggested donation of $5. Thanks to an endowment from Dorothy Brockway Osborne\, this program is free for Hopkinton Residents. \nBy attending this event\, you and anyone you register on behalf of agree to NH Audubon’s Outdoor Education Program Liability Release & Agreement Waiver. \nMaximum: 7 children \nContact: Devin Guilfoyle

SUMMARY:Hive Mind Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Massabesic Center to enjoy the Hive Mind exhibit. \nHive Mind is an exhibit based on communication and connection. For this group show\, Artists were divided into three groups\, each with a captain. The captain would present the group with an already completed work without telling them anything about the backstory or process; leaving the Artists to interpret what they perceived based on the image alone. Artists worked independently and finished the body of work\, minus the work that inspired the group\, which was given to another captain\, and they would interpret what they saw from the body of images provided. Themes and techniques were explored and all played a part in the interpretation. The finished exhibition is the full body of work from these collective Artists. \n \nNAV Arts is a group of loosely affiliated Artists\, Writers\, Musicians and Performers based in New England. Having no permanent space or gallery\, shows and exhibits are worked to different spaces\, based on a shared theme or idea. Artists of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome to take part. \n  \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.
