For the Birds
an exhibition of fine art and craft
Call For Artists
“For the Birds” is the Arts Council's first open exhibit of 2023. We see birds every day as they glide effortlessly through the air and feed at our bird feeders. Birds inspire and fascinate us as they connect us with the natural world. For this exhibit, artwork should use birds as the primary subject matter and/or muse for expression and creation, and may focus on their physical appearance, habitat, flight and migration patterns, songs, or other attributes. “For the Birds” will open on Friday, February 3, and close Saturday, February 25, with artwork due at the Arts Council on January 31.
