SUMMARY:On Being Human: Mosaic Meditations by Cynthia Fisher
DESCRIPTION:On Being Human: Mosaic Meditations by Cynthia Fisher\nSeptember 18 – December 20\, 2026 in the Allie Kussin Main Gallery \nOpening Reception: Tuesday\, October 6\, 6 – 8 PM (RSVP appreciated)\nMosaic Activity: during Free Family Day\, Saturday\, October 10\, 2 – 4 PM (registration appreciated)\nArtist Talk: Wednesday\, November 7\, 3 – 4 PM (RSVP appreciated) \nDriven by curiosity and a background in Wildlife Biology\, Cynthia Fisher has created varied and philosophical works that seek to elevate mosaics beyond the world of craft and into fine art. Through inspiring cultural conversations\, Fisher aims to engage the viewer in questioning our impact on the natural world. \nUtilizing a wide range of materials\, including vitreous glass and broken pottery\, the tactile and textured nature of the medium forces us to share the space. Prompting questions about how we currently engage with the world around us and how it may engage with us. Through her works\, she explores our environmental impact on our planet\, addressing not only the greatness of human life\, but our responsibility towards the natural world. \n“I do have reasons for hope: our clever brains\, the resilience of nature\, the indomitable human spirit\, and above all\, the commitment of young people when they’re empowered to take action.” – Jane Goodall \nLearn more at theUmbrellaArts.org/being-human \nOpen until December 20

SUMMARY:Wildlife in Focus: Matt Patterson’s Journey in Art and Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Walden Woods Project\, as part of The Concord Festival of Authors\, for a presentation from Matt Patterson! \nAbout Matt Patterson: \nThere’s almost no distance Matt Patterson won’t go\, almost nothing he won’t do\, to learn all he can about the subjects he paints to make them as accurate and lifelike as possible. He’s pulled giant snapping turtles out of Boston’s muddy river\, worked with the Turtle Survival Alliance experts to survey radiated tortoises in Madagascar’s Spiny Forest and trapped and tagged turtles in the rainforest of Belize. He has illustrated several books including his first book\, “Freshwater Fish of the Northeast”\, written by his father. He also illustrated “The Book of Turtles”\, which won seven national awards including a Sibert Honor\, the NY Times bestselling “Of Time and Turtles”\, and the recently released picture book “The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle”. The latter three books were written by Sy Montgomery. Matt is a member of Artists For Conservation\, Society of Animal Artists and a Fellow in The Explorer’s Club. His work has been featured in American Art Collector Magazine\, Yankee Magazine\, Fine Art Connoisseur and has won numerous awards including twice winning the Roger Tory Peterson Wild American Art award and the AFC Medal of Excellence. \nAbout the presentation: \nAt a young age\, Matt was fascinated with nature and art\, and he has traveled all over to research his subjects. An important part of his illustration process is seeing and learning about his subjects in the wild. In his presentation\, he will discuss his experiences working in the field\, conservation\, his art\, and researching the three most recent books he worked on with the award-winning author Sy Montgomery. \nWhen: Wednesday\, October 21\, 6:15-8:00 pm EST. \nWhere: The Walden Woods Project (address provided upon registration) \nDoors will open at 6:15 pm for a wine and cheese reception. The presentation will begin at 7:00 pm.
