Drawing From Nature at the Southern Vermont Natural History Museum www.vermontmuseum.org
The Museum’s annual President’s Day Open House will focus on the art of nature. Join us for a FREE afternoon of live animals and local artists. The event will feature an exhibit of local photographers painters and craftspeople as well as an opportunity for you to have a photoshoot or drawing session with some of the Museum’s education animals. Kids’ crafts and activities will include a scavenger hunt and activity table from the Pettee Library . As with last year, we will offer discounted museum memberships and prizes for scavenger hunt participants and for anyone who dresses up as their favorite animals. The artists and photographers will be on-hand to discuss their work and give helpful hints as you work on your own pieces. Museum staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions about the animals and the Museum exhibits. The day starts at 12:00 with a guided hike on the Hogback Conservation Area and then the doors open for free museum admission from 1:00-4:00. Our own Mike Clough will lead a concluding hike at 3:45 and encourages hikers to bring their cameras!
