Friday, June 21 – Sunday, June 23 – Newport Flower Show: Audubon Artistic Adventures

American ornithologist and painter John James Audubon (1785-1851) declared that he only came alive when “in the field” of this wild new land.  His artful hand created a pictorial journal not only of the birds he loved but also of their habitats.  Join The Preservation Society of Newport County at Rosecliff as we travel with this visionary naturalist in our own Artistic Adventure.
