Michele L'Heureux.

Phillips Exeter Academy's Lamont Gallery is featuring "Welcome to Bird Land: Michele L'Heureux" until October 13. L'Heureux is an artist and curator who is currently Director and Curator of the Montserrat College of Art galleries. For "Welcome to Bird Land," she's worked with artist and collaborator Helen Popinchalk to create, as described within the exhibition webpage, an "immersive ode to birds." The exhibition draws inspiration from the appearance, behavior, environment and human appreciation of birds. It also explores how an encounter with a single bird—the "spark bird" as described within the exhibition webpage—can inspire a lifetime of admiration for birds. The exhibition also features an interactive bird blind and multiple works of art from the Lamont Gallery collection. One doesn't have to be a bird-lover to enjoy this exhibit, though. "Welcome to Bird Land" reveals the similarities between birds and humans and showcases the importance of birds to both humans and our world. Lamont Gallery is located at 20 Main Street in Exeter, New Hampshire and is open Tuesday⎻Friday 9:00 a.m.⎻4:00 p.m. until August 24, after which it will be open Tuesday⎻Friday 9:00 a.m.⎻5:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m.⎻4:00 p.m. For more information, please visit exeter.edu/lamont-gallery/current-exhibition-welcome-bird-land.
