This event is co-hosted by the Essex County Ornithological Club. A brief meeting of the club will be held from 7:30–7:45 pm. All are welcome to attend!
Join Jennifer S. Tafe, Director of Mass Audubon’s Museum of American Bird Art (MABA) for an evening of art, birds, conservation and legacy. Mass Audubon has been inextricably linked with art since its founding in 1896, commissioning the best wildlife artists of the day to create works of art meant to educate and inspire. Tafe will share some of the incredible art from MABA’s collection, highlighting the important role art plays in inspiring people to connect and advocate for nature, and preview designs for an exciting new museum building planned for Mass Audubon’s Brewster’s Woods wildlife sanctuary.
This event also offers a rare opportunity to view several select works from MABA’s collection of more than 3,000 artworks. A temporary installation of these works will be on view outside Morse Auditorium from 7-7:30 pm and following the presentation.
