VIRTUAL WEBINAR - The Art of Mary Cassatt

Join us as Jeff Mishur hosts a companion program to the upcoming Art Institute of Chicago exhibition Mary Cassatt: After Impressionism:

"Training in Philadelphia in the early 1860s, Cassatt then traveled to Europe largely on her own to study with noted teachers and experience the continent’s traditional and modern art firsthand. In 1877 she made the daring decision to join the French Impressionists—the only American to exhibit with them. It was in the years following the eighth and final Impressionist group show in 1886 that Cassatt produced some of her most innovative—and now celebrated—compositions." -The Art Institute of Chicago

Jeff is co-owner of Art Excursions, Inc, a business offering private guiding, educational programs and small group tours. Jeff has also taught on the university level for many years.

Due to copyright issues, this Zoom Webinar will not be available later on our YouTube channel.

ON THE SAME PAGE: The Seasons of Birds in DuPage County.

Dr. Mike Warner from the DuPage Birding Club will present "The Seasons of Birds in DuPage County" as part of the library's discussion of our On the Same Page book by Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year. He will cover the basics of getting started in birding and then focus on which types of birds can be found in different habitats over the course of the year's four seasons. His presentation will conclude on some of the threats to bird populations and what we can do to prevent the decline in the number of birds. Please join us for an informative and entertaining presentation about birds you can find in and around Bloomingdale.

Dr. Warner has led numerous Field Trips for groups in search of birds in our local Forest Preserves and parks. Mike is also an avid bird photographer and his presentation will include many of his photographs.
