We are glad to present this rescheduled program on time for Earth Day!
Join us to take a walk through the Audubon Bird Mural Project, an impressive effort to create murals of over 300 North American birds. Most of the murals are in the Harlem neighborhoods of Hamilton Heights and Washington Heights in NYC, where John James Audubon lived the last ten years of his life.
All of the birds painted are threatened by climate change, so the Project is designed not only to display the birds’ beauty, but also to make us aware of the challenges that they face.
We will see about 40 murals, plus Audubon’s grave site, in a 50-minute slide presentation followed by Q&A.
