Reception Party: Birds of Hudson Valley at Cornell Cooperative Extension Columbia & Greene Counties

3pm - 5pm

CCE Agroforestry Resource Center 6055 Route 23 Acra, New York 12405

"The Birds of the Hudson Valley art show features 38 stencil paintings by Mayuko Fujino that celebrate the local landscapes where nature, birds, and humans coexist and thrive. Fujino creates her paintings with hand-cut stencils and natural pigments, some of which she extracts from locally collected rocks and non-native plants. She often finds inspiration for her work in conversations with local bird enthusiasts. Some of the pieces in this show highlight farms that incorporate bird-friendly practices despite the many challenges of farming, such as creating winter habitats for sparrows, installing nest boxes, and protecting breeding grounds for grassland birds. Through this exhibit, she hopes to connect with more farmers who love birds and share their philosophy and products on her radio show Beakuency: Meet Bird People in the Hudson Valley! on Wave Farm's WGXC 90.7 FM, a community radio station based in Greene County. If you are a bird-loving farmer or know one, she would love to visit your farm for an interview!"

Reception is on Saturday, Aug 2, 2025 3pm - 5pm. Refreshment will be served.

This exhibition is part of the Art at the ARC, a program by Cornell Cooperative Extension Columbia and Greene Counties in collaboration with CREATE Council on the Arts.

Beakuency Zine Project presentation
at North Chatham Free Library

TIME TBD

North Chatham Free Library
4287 Route 203 North Chatham, NY

In 2025, the North Chatham Free Library hosts a series of varied arts programs with the theme, "Nurturing community through the arts".

"“Beakuency: Meet Bird People in the Hudson Valley!” features new paintings by Copake-based Japanese stencil artist Mayuko Fujino, inspired by stories shared in the radio interviews she conducted with local birders involved in conservation efforts. Despite the divisive times we live in, the Columbia County birding community has been working together across party lines. This project celebrates the powerful connection that birds create for us, despite our other differences, and highlights and advocates for such alliances that are emerging at the local level."
