The opening of “Into the Wild,” new paintings by Rosemary Conroy, will be Friday, May 6, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Harris Center for Conservation Education, 83 King’s Highway in Hancock.
Nearly 20 years after her first show at the Harris Center, contemporary wildlife artist Rosemary Conroy returns to again celebrate the beauty and wonder of local wild beings. It will be peak birding season, which will complement the show’s focus on the favored feathered friends of Meade Cadot. A longtime mentee and long-ago student of his, Conroy is dedicating this show in Meade’s honor.
Conroy has a long connection to the Harris Center, having been an Antioch student who attended courses at the Harris Center, a Wol’s Nest summer camp counselor, a workshop leader and a two-term board member. For information on her work, visit rosemaryconroyart.com.
“Into the Wild” will be on exhibit from May 1 to June 1 at the Harris Center in Hancock, and is available to view during regular business hours. For information, visit harriscenter.org/events.
The Harris Center for Conservation Education is dedicated to promoting understanding and respect for the natural environment through education, direct protection and stewardship of the region’s natural resources, conservation research and programs that encourage active participation in the outdoors.
