SUMMARY:Birds! Exhibit Event - Artist Talk with Barry Van Dusen: Out the Studio Window
DESCRIPTION:OUT THE STUDIO WINDOWS\nan illustrated talk by Barry Van Dusen \nMany artists travel widely in search of new subjects\, while others spend their entire artistic lives much closer to home. Andrew Wyeth did all of his work in two small areas of Maine and Pennsylvania\, and Claude Monet spent the last four decades of his life painting the gardens right out his back door. \nNature artist Barry Van Dusen has done his share of traveling\, but he\, too\, continues to find abundant inspiration nearby – many of his paintings feature subjects observed out the windows of his studio in central Massachusetts. \nIn this one-hour illustrated talk\, Barry takes you along in his explorations of nature “Out the Studio Windows”. \nThis program is being offered as part of the Birds! exhibit on view at Fivesparks from April 18 – May 30\, 2026.  \nTo reserve your spot\, please register HERE.  \nThe Birds! curated art exhibit as well as the corresponding bird-related events and programs were planned in partnership with the Boxborough Birders Group.

SUMMARY:Birds! Exhibit Event - Birds\, Bats & Bugs: The Underlying Unity of Flight Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Birds\, Bats & Bugs: The Underlying Unity of Flight\, Richard Fichera.  \nRichard’s background spans 50 years in the computer industry with strong interests in a number of related technical fields and an undergraduate engineering\, math and science background at UC Berkeley. His interest in birds began about 7 years ago when he retired and immediately took the Cornell Bird Biology course. \nRichard’s curiosity about avian flight was piqued when he attended a lecture at Joppa Flats in Newburyport where a statement was made that bats use a different mechanism than birds to fly and somehow “swim” through the air. Richard dug into this topic using his technical background to explore animal flight mechanics\, and developed this presentation both as a way to educate himself and share his learning with others.  \nJoin us at Fivesparks during the Birds! Exhibit to learn about flight from Richard\, member of the Boxborough Birders.  \nThis lecture is FREE for all to attend.  Friday\, May 8\, 7pm.  \nThe Birds! curated art exhibit as well as the corresponding bird-related events and programs were planned in partnership with the Boxborough Birders Group.
