Join us at the Potsdam Public Library to learn about the remarkable migration of North Country birds from Dr. Tom Langen! May is a great time to learn about the amazing migration of birds. Dr. Tom Langen will talk about how birds that pass through the North Country migrate – some coming from as far as Argentina, some going as far as the Arctic Ocean. Why do birds migrate? How do birds know the route? How long does it take? How do they have the energy to accomplish it? Some of the answers may surprise you. 📅 May 30th 🕠 5:30–7:00 PM 📍 Potsdam Public Library 🎟️ FREE and open to all ages! This talk is part of the lead-up to Wild Theater with Rivka Eckert, coming September 2025! @wildtheatercollective 🔗 Learn more + see the full speaker lineup: potsdamlibrary.org/pplpresents-wild-theater-speaker-series #Wild_Theater #Potsdam_Public_Library #SLC_Arts #Community_Learning #NYS_Council_On_The_Arts #Free_Event #Explore_Together #SLC_Arts #birds #bird_migration @potsdampubliclibrary (fb)

Art Is Environmental Awareness 🌿🎨 Art doesn’t just reflect the world—it helps us care for it. In the face of climate change, pollution, and ecological loss, the Arts give us a powerful way to see, feel, and respond to the environmental challenges of our time. At SLC Arts, we believe creativity is a crucial tool in the movement for environmental awareness and sustainability. That’s why we: Weave environmental storytelling through our Wild Theater Collective, bringing local ecosystems and natural stories to life on stage ✨ Honor Indigenous ecological knowledge through our Montpelier Gallery exhibition series, showcasing art that connects deeply with the land and its traditions ✨ Partner with nature-focused organizations to create meaningful experiences that build connection and care for our natural world ✨ Approach art-making sustainably, striving for zero to low waste in every project and encouraging eco-conscious creativity ✨ Offer nature-based workshops like plein air painting, nature journaling, and meditative stone painting to help people engage with the environment through art 🌎 Art helps us see our place within nature and inspires us to act with care and respect. 🎨 It transforms stories of the environment into shared experiences that foster connection and hope. Art isn’t just decoration—it’s a vital tool for environmental awareness and action. #Arts_Is_Series #Arts_Is_Environmental_Awareness #SLC_Arts #Creative_Climate_Action #Eco_Art #Nourishing_Our_Waters #Rooted_Wisdom #North_Country_Arts #Art_For_The_Earth #Arts_Matter #Sustainable_Creativity (fb)
