SUMMARY:July Community Planning Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Summer is in full swing at Awbury Arboretum! While the season may bring a slower pace for some\, it’s one of the busiest times of year across the Arboretum. From caring for young trees and tending gardens to welcoming visitors and preparing for upcoming programs and events\, staff\, volunteers\, and partners are hard at work making Awbury a vibrant community space. \nAs part of this commitment to the community\, Awbury is bringing back Community Planning Meetings. These gatherings are an opportunity for neighbors\, visitors\, and supporters to learn what’s happening at Awbury\, share ideas\, ask questions\, and help shape the future of the Arboretum. \nJoin us Thursday\, July 30\, from 6:00–8:00 PM at Cope House for the first meeting. Attendees will hear about Awbury’s strategic priorities for the next two years\, learn about exciting upcoming projects\, and help identify the topics and initiatives they’d like to see explored in future meetings. \nBuilding a more transparent\, welcoming\, and collaborative Awbury starts with listening. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or visiting for the first time\, your voice is an important part of creating a place where everyone can connect with nature and one another. \nRegister here to join us for July’s Community Planning Meeting—we hope to see you there!

DESCRIPTION:Speaker Series with Tony Croasdale “Migration and Migrant Traps: Why Awbury Arboretum is Great for Birding”\nTuesday\, October 11th\, 7:00-9:00pm \nThis lecture will be a crash course in bird migration and the ecology behind this phenomenon.

SUMMARY:Art Reception: Forager
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to the galleries of the Francis Cope House to see \n“Forager”\n\n\n\nAn exhibit featuring select worksby Katie VanVliet. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition will be on display Sept 2nd through October 30th\, 2022 (Monday – Thursday\, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM unless there is an event at the Cope House) with an Artist’s Reception on Thursday\, Sept 15th\, 5:00–7:00 PM.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Admission is FREE.

She studied fine arts at Moore College of Art & Design before co-founding BYO Print in 2010; BYO Print is a collective studio for emerging and established independent printmakers. She was a resident at Vermont Studio Center in 2017 and the 2018-2019 printmaker in residence at Cheltenham Arts Center. She occasionally teaches workshops about using reclaimed objects in an art practice\, and teaches non-toxic printmaking at Cheltenham Arts Center. Her work can be collected through Paradigm Gallery + Studio in Philadelphia\, PA.  \nArtist’s Statement: \n“Found and collected materials are the main component of my work – graphic elements of prints and physical building blocks of sculptures and installations. Leftovers of daily routines that accumulate over time and collections of those I hold dear have always been the sources of my practice. Collections of used tea bags become quilted paper. Eggshells are repaired from the morning’s breakfasts. Endless numbers of no.11 knife blades become new absurd tools. These constantly increasing multiples serve as tally marks of the days’ passing. The specimen as both the multiple (a remainder of routine) and as an individual (a foraged treasure) weaves narrative through the work that is both extremely autobiographical\, yet familiar to many.”

She received her MFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and her BFA in Painting at The University of the Arts (Philadelphia College of Art). Her work has been shown at the Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia\, Dartmouth College\, Swarthmore College\, Arcadia University\, and the Jessica Berwind Gallery\, Jeffrey Fuller Fine Art\, and the Matthews Hamilton Gallery in Philadelphia. She is the recipient of grants from both the Pennsylvania State Council on the Arts and Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. Betsey is a MacDowell Colony Fellow. Batchelor says “The most interesting place to be is between. The state of not knowing\, not naming\, of becoming and not yet being holds a particular energy. I am fascinated with how the small and intimate world of the everyday\, the known and particular\, sit within a larger\, expansive\, and mysterious world that resists knowing through touch or measure. Shape\, with it’s boundaries\, contours and gesture\, offers a metaphor for the limits of our ability to know a world that goes beyond the reach of our senses.” \nIman Jones: Jones says “Simple shapes laid in an unspecific or set pattern that creates an intricate mosaic design that allows you\, the viewer\, to get lost in the details. That’s how I would describe my mosaic paintings. I create them with the hope to give someone a chance to interpret each individual piece differently upon viewing them over multiple times. The paintings are done on a multitude of surfaces\, from paper and canvas\, to wood and glass. I’ve created pieces for walls but also I’ve made pieces to be used as artistic furniture. I encourage you to take the time to get lost in my remixed vision of what mosaics are and can be.” \nJulie Kring: Julie Kring received a B.S. from Kutztown University and an M. Ed.

His artwork since then has included drawing\, printmaking\, painting\, illustrated stories\, sculpture\, indoor and outdoor installations\, performance and theater. Much of the work can be seen on his website: www.mistermetz.com. Metz says “Art making is to me ecologically\, about the process\, about my choices of where to make work\, what to use\, why make it\, and what do I want my work to say….The choice to depict animals and birds in a portrait-like manner is to attempt to decenter humans. What if we aren’t the most important creatures on the planet\, just the most deadly?”
