Antoinette Prien Schultze and Brigtitte Keller are longtime friends whose artwork forms a rich conversation on abstraction, process, material, natural form, and modern design. Schultze’s monumental sculptures speak to the resilience of the threatened natural world, while the deceptively complex, layered surfaces of Keller’s immersive paintings evoke both the enduring and transient aspects of nature. Both artists’ abstractions are inflected by their deep connections to classical music, especially Bach. Location: UMF Art Gallery. FREE. Open to the Public. Sponsored by: Division of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Contact: Sarah Maline, 12-4pm daily and by appointment; closed Mondays. Call/text Sarah at 207-778-1062 for appointment; or email. maline@maine.edu. artgalleryumf.org.

“Vagrant Birds Seen in Maine”
2024-10-09 19:00 - 20:30 | Thomas Auditorium, UMF Preble/Ricker Hall
Finding a bird out of its normal range is always an excitingevent. Birds’ ability to fly sometimes produces jaw-dropping occurrences wellbeyond the normal range of a species. This Western Maine Audubon talk will explore some of the research that has been done to explain vagrancy in birds. Some explanations rely on intentional movements to explore outside the normal range and others involve the effects of storms and faulty navigation. We will consider some of the more amazing vagrants that have occurred in Maine.
Herb Wilson is a Professor Emeritus of Biology at ColbyCollege where he taught Ornithology, Evolution and Diversity, Marine Ecology,and Marine Invertebrate Zoology. His primary ornithological interests are the impacts of global climate change on bird migration and the foraging behavior ofwinter birds in Maine.
For those who cannot attend the talk in person, it can be accessed live via Zoom. The link for the sign in will be posted online at https://western.maineaudubon.org/events/ and on the Western Maine Audubon Facebook page. Both postings will be available on the day of the talk. A video will also be recorded and posted on the website’s “Video” page.
