Birding the Spring Migration

May 3–5
3-days: Friday–Sunday

For the new or aspiring birder, spring on Cape Cod offers an incredible opportunity to practice and hone new skills. Lingering winter species mingle with northbound warblers, hawks, and shorebirds, as well as returning breeding birds. Throughout the weekend, we will focus on practicing skills in the field, identifying birds through observation and song, as

well as beginning to understand
the unique adaptations, biology,
and life histories of these coastal birds. A multitude of field trips and experiences will explore the best birding hotspots the Outer Cape has to offer. While beginner-focused, this course is also great for intermediate birders looking for a refresher or a closer look at coastal birds.

Fee: $400 Member; $460 Nonmember

ARTIST STATEMENT:

A move to Provincetown in 2009 provided me with an opportunity to become a part of an historic arts community and to experience first-hand the work of artists (past and present) and the landscapes and the townscapes that have inspired their work.

My paintings have evolved from earlier traditional townscapes using a basic understanding of architectural forms from my professional background to imaginary forms and locations using unidentified vantage points and perspectives.

My approach and preparation for oil painting includes my love for notebook pencil sketching, quick watercolor studies and weekly access to figure drawing at PAAM to keep my eye in check.

I am interested in moving my painting forward and not being satisfied if this year’s work is the same as a previous year’s work.  

PAUL KELLY - BIO

Paul lives and works in Provincetown, where he is represented by the Alden Gallery.   His work has been widely shown in juried and member exhibitions at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum and has been included in the museum’s permanent collection.  Paul is also represented by the Artemis Gallery in Northeast Harbor, Maine.

Paul received a BFA from Syracuse University and a BArch from the Rhode Island School of Design. His subsequent career has included work in New Town Development in England, Project Management for the Boston Redevelopment Authority’s Charlestown Navy Yard Project and in 1976 he became a Founding Partner of the Boston Architectural and Development firm Manitou Company.

Bird Research in Action!

We are excited to be celebrating ten years of bird banding here at Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary! In 2014, we re-established a bird banding station to study the migration of songbirds. However, the Sanctuary has a long history of monitoring bird populations through banding, most notably the research done by Dr. Oliver Austin, Jr. from 1928-1958. Much has changed since that time and the data we are gathering is helping us understand just how much it has changed.

Mist nets are set up on the property during spring and fall migrations and are managed by James Junda, Licensed Master Bander. Come meet James and the rest of the bird banding team and learn about banding methods and the information gathered from this research. You will likely get to see live birds up-close and observe the banding process. The welfare of the birds is our priority and we cannot guarantee live birds will be observed in-the-hand.

If you have any questions about the program or if you would like to discuss any special considerations, please contact the sanctuary at 508-349-2615 or wellfleet@massaudubon.org.

Cape Cod: Past, Present, Future

May 18–19
2-days: Saturday–Sunday

In its short geologic history, Cape Cod has seen many changes. Rich natural and cultural history are laced within the shifting sands of this dynamic peninsula. In this course, we aim to provide an in-depth understanding of the coastal processes that shape Cape Cod and their influences on people and wildlife, both throughout history, present-day, and into the future. We will learn how the Cape was formed, how it has changed, and how humans have influenced, as well as been influenced by, those changes over the years. During our time together, we will traverse varied coastal landscapes from dramatic dunes and bluffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, to the vast and vibrant vistas of our salt marsh systems, and to the beautiful expanses of tidal flats and barrier beaches within Cape Cod Bay.

Dario Acosta Teich’s masterful guitar technique serves an endlessly imaginative musical mind. He has spearheaded jazz ensembles, composed for orchestras, and improvised with jazz icons such as Mike Stern, all while cultivating his deep Latin American roots. Acosta Teich’s music takes listeners on an jazz tour of Argentina’s varied sonic regions, presenting his homeland in new sounds based on age-old rhythms and contexts: some pensive, some festive, all fresh.

Originally from Argentina and now based in New York City, Dario returns to Wellfleet Presentation Hall to perform with his world-class Boston-based quartet: Yulia Musayelyan (flute), Fernando Huergo (bass) and Steve Langone (drums). Take a sonic adventure al sur across borders and mountainous landscapes of the Andes with this boundary-defying concert!

Much has changed since that time and the data we are gathering is helping us understand just how much it has changed.

Mist nets are set up on the property during spring and fall migrations and are managed by James Junda, Licensed Master Bander. Come meet James and the rest of the bird banding team and learn about banding methods and the information gathered from this research. You will likely get to see live birds up-close and observe the banding process. The welfare of the birds is our priority and we cannot guarantee live birds will be observed in-the-hand.

If you have any questions about the program or if you would like to discuss any special considerations, please contact the sanctuary at 508-349-2615 or wellfleet@massaudubon.org.

Life in the Intertidal: Horseshoe Crabs
May 24–26
3-days: Friday–Sunday

Twice a day, the tide ebbs and flows, bringing with it many changes
to the shoreline and surrounding coastal habitats. In this course, we will carefully inspect the seashore, which is covered by water at high tide, and uncovered at low tide. Here, a diverse array of flora and fauna must survive the extreme daily changes in temperature, sun exposure, predation, and more. Learn about the amazing adaptations and life histories of these organisms and what makes them fit to survive in such a dynamic environment. This program will place special emphasis on the Atlantic horseshoe crab through hands-on surveys and tagging opportunities to learn more about the importance of this ancient creature, the threats, and pressures it faces today, and what we can do to help.

Chrissy Judy (2022)

Dir. Todd Flaherty Judy's been described as many things: a free spirit, a daydreamer, a boy-crazy hot mess. But this is going to be the summer it all comes together for this ambitious, 30-something drag queen/cater-waiter and his best friend, Chrissy. That is, until Chrissy's priorities suddenly shift, forcing a disillusioned Judy to examine his life and priorities as a queer artist, and rediscover himself in the process. The dark comedy, Chrissy Judy explores the universal pain of breaking up with your best friends and questions, "What do you do when your chosen family no longer chooses you?"

Author Talk:

Sarah Blakley-Cartwright

ALICE SADIE CELINE

It's opening night, but far from glamorous. Alice is performing in a local Bay Area production of the Winter's Tale, the complete opposite of what she had envisioned for her career back home in Los Angeles. To make matters worse, her best friend Sadie is not even coming. Pragmatic and serious Sadie and flighty, creative Alice have been best friends since high school, but now that they are through with college and living on opposite ends of California, Alice would at least expect her friend's support. Sadie, determined not to cancel her plans with her boyfriend, ends up enlisting the help of her mother Celine. Celine's landmark treatise on sex and identity made her notorious, but she's struggling to write her new book in a post-second-wave feminism world. When Sadie begs her to attend Alice's play, she relents, if only for an escape from writer's block. But in a turn of events perplexing even to herself, Celine becomes entranced by Alice's performance and realizes that her daughter's lanky, slightly annoying, best friend is now an irresistible young woman. Set over the course of decades, Alice and Celine's affair will test the limits of their love for Sadie and their own beliefs about power, agency, and feminism. Witty and relatable, sexy and surprising, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright's novel is a mesmerizing portrait of the inner lives of three very different women.

Sarah Blakley-Cartwright is the author of Red Riding Hood, a #1 New York Times bestseller published worldwide in thirty-eight editions and fifteen lanquages. She is the editor of Hauser & Wirth's The Artist's Library for Ursula magazine. She is publishing director of the Chicago Review

of Books, and associate editor of A Public Space.

Recording the Nature of Cape Cod

June 8–9
2-days: Saturday–Sunday

“Outermost cliff and solitary dune, the plain of ocean and the far, bright brims of the world, meadow land and marsh and ancient moor;...This is the outer Cape.”
Henry Beston, The Outermost House

From Henry David Thoreau to Mary Oliver, Cape Cod’s beautiful scenery has acted as a muse. Together, we will trace the steps of the artists and writers who have found inspiration in this constantly changing landscape. We will travel across the Outer Cape, visiting the special sites that led to the formation of important works of art and literature. Along the way, we will record our own experiences using a nature journal.

Wellfleet Public Library presented by Addison Art Gallery

Paul Schulenburg has organized a group of artists to paint live model Skye Freyss- Cole at the Wellfleet Library as part of our month-long celebration of Bohemian Art. The public is invited to watch the painters at work, welcome to ask them questions as they progress, and to stay for extra time to explore the works and chat with the creators. Schulenburg's group reflects the long tradition of artists painting the figure together. In this age of Al, iPhones and Photoshop, the AddisonArt Gallery is especially pleased to open this intriguing viewing opportunity.

Paul Schulenburg is an internationally collected artist whose work has shown in the Hopper House Museum, twice in solo shows at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, and in many group exhibitions at CCMA, Provincetown Art Association and Museum, and Cahoon Museum of American Art. He has appeared over a dozen times in respected national art publications including a feature in Fine Art Connoisseur, as well as on the cover of American Art Collector. Schulenburg won the Patrons' Choice Award at the Copley Society of Art and was awarded a month-long residency at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. He is a juried member of Oil Painters of America and the Portrait Society of America.

The Wellfleet Historical Society and Museum Presents A House Restored: The Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial with Lee McColgan

Old houses share their secrets only if they survive. Trading the corporate ladder for a stepladder, Lee McColgan commits to preserving the ramshackle Loring House, built in 1702, using period materials and methods and on a holiday deadline. But his enchantment withers as he discovers the massive repairs it needs. A small kitchen fix reveals that the structure’s rotten frame could collapse at any moment. In a bathroom, mold appears and spreads. He fights deteriorating bricks, frozen pipes, shattered windows, a punctured foundation, and even an airborne chimney cap while learning from a diverse cast of preservationists, including a master mason named Irons, a stone whisperer, and the Window Witch. But can he meet his deadline before family and friends arrive, or will it all come crashing down? McColgan’s journey expertly examines our relationship to history through the homes we inhabit, beautifully articulating the philosophy of preserving the past to find purpose for the future.

Lee McColgan has worked on Boston’s Old North Church, Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House, and other buildings. His work has appeared in Architectural Digest, Boston Globe, and Wall Street Journal. He lives with his wife in the Loring House in Pembroke, Massachusetts.

Fleet Movement Explorations is a structured improvisational dance class in which we play spontaneously with forces, shapes, feelings, images, and ideas rather than with specific dance technique. Warm-ups are based in both evolutionary and developmental movement patterns that structure and support all body movement. With these experiences we make mini dances. The class is basically informal, challenging, and fun, and a good movement workout. All are welcome.

4/14, 5/19, 6/9, 7/14, 8/11
From 3:00 to 4:30 pm
A Drop-in Donation Based Dance Class

Contact Becky Burrill (Rebecca.burrill@aol.com) to be added to the class email listserv for notifications about class.
