Join Artist-in-Residence, Margo Connolly-Masson, and educators from Mass Audubon for an evening of Gull Gazing.

We’ll meet in the Park’s courtyard to chat about our local gulls before venturing out on a walk around downtown to observe gull behavior. As the sun sets, we’ll move into the Park’s Maker Space to create art based on what we discovered. Open to all ages and interest levels.
