Event History
Three simple words – birds in art – took on a life of their own when they became a Woodson Art Museum exhibition title. Moving toward the exhibition’s milestone fiftieth anniversary, Birds in Art is recognized around the world as the exhibition that sets the standard for avian art. Since 1976, Birds in Art has showcased the remarkable talents of more than 1,000 international artists, who have presented their best work interpreting birds and related subject matter. The strength and pre-eminence of Birds in Art were soundly demonstrated in 2020, when, despite the global pandemic, the Woodson Art Museum maintained its commitment to organizing and presenting the exhibition. Artists around the world responded in kind. The Woodson Art Museum again invites two- and three-dimensional artists working in all mediums other than crafts and photography to submit original artworks for jury consideration for Birds in Art 2021.
