Calling all bird lovers! We are looking for artists to participate in our upcoming summer 2019 exhibition Bird, Nest, Nature, which will be on view July 12 - September 13, 2020.
Birds have captured the attention of humankind since the beginning of time, providing an endless source of fascination and inspiration. With their exquisite coloring, stunning tufts of feathers, distinctive silhouettes and graceful flight patterns, birds entice us to look up and marvel.
Artwork submitted should be completed pieces or concepts for installation that reference the theme of birds in the work.
