Artist Residency: Sky Stitching by Audrey Bartow

Sundays 10am-12pm beginning June 7th

Join naturalist and botany scholar Audrey Bartow in a celebration of the birds of Lenapehoking.

What does migration sound like? What colors can you hear? We’ll tackle these questions and more on a year-long artist residency at MEEC. Naturalist and environmental artist Audrey Bartow will hold weekly bird listening sessions, open to MEEC visitors, where they’ll document bird observations by knitting their colors into an ever changing tapestry. Visitors are encouraged to sit with the artist while they work, help to observe birds, and check back in as the project progresses. The work will document bird visitation at MEEC over the course of one year, culminating in a reception to unveil the tapestry and discuss findings. Community members are asked to help donate yarn and knitted items to be recycled so that the piece has a low environmental footprint.

Monthly D&D Game at MEEC

Last Sunday of every month at 4pm

Admission: $5

Call to register, Wed - Sun:845-644-5014

Additional sessions, 4pm at the last Sunday of each month.

Play as a forest protector in the magical Everwood, a forest that is much more than it seems. Thought a small patch of land between two towns, you're likely to get lost and end of in strange places if you're not careful. There are fae, poachers, and mysteries to discover for those willing to vow their service in protection to Everwood.

Each session is designed to work as a one-shot so players can drop in and out as needed. Beginners welcome. Games can run anywhere from 2-4 hours.

If you need to make your character, please reach out to Charlotte. 10 players MAX per game so make sure to register.

Any questions reach out to the Game Master, Charlotte, at [email protected].

Wetland Walk tomorrow morning has been cancelled.
