Immediately after our Live Painting Tutorial, there will be a Meet the Artist Reception where local artists showcase their refuge, habitat, and bird-themed art. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the artists’ methods and ideas about their work. All pieces exhibited at the event will be available for purchase.

And this year during our Meet the Artist Reception, we will be announcing the winners of our calendar photo contest – winning pictures will be included on our 2027 Friends of Missisquoi calendar, which will showcase the beauty of our region and the incredible talent of the photographers who participate.
