Due to the predicted storm, Meg Madden's slideshow and talk has been moved to Wednesday, March 15, at 6:00pm in the Byers Studio at Town Hall Theater.

The slideshow and talk is being offered in conjunction with her exhibit, "The Art of Mycology: Mushroom Photographs by Meg Madden," in the Jackson Gallery at Town Hall Theater through March 19.

Free Admission.

This is a show for people who love mushrooms... and even those don't!

Mycology is the scientific study of fungi. Meg Madden is an artist with a passion for this science, sparked while out on a hike with her young daughter during March of 2020, the early days of the pandemic lockdown. Her natural curiosity drove her to seek out more knowledge about this and other varieties in her local woods and beyond, where she found an astonishing array of colors and shapes to record. Already an experienced photographer, Madden began to collect images of the fungi she spotted on her treks and soon began sharing them on an Instagram account that has since acquired over 43,000 followers. Accumulating deep knowledge over the past three years, Madden is now exercising another of her passions – educating and inspiring others. The Jackson Gallery is exhibiting a selection of these portraits enlarged as framed archival prints for viewing and purchase.

Visit townhalltheater.org for more details on the exhibit.

Copies of Meg's newly published book will be available for sale, "This is a Book for People Who Love Mushrooms" (Running Press; March 7, 2023), and the author will gladly sign books on Wednesday evening as well.
