Taking Flight

Majestic yet feather-light, our aerial brethren connect us intrinsically with the natural world. With each day’s sunrise and sunset, these messengers of environmental fluctuations provide endless fascination and inspiration.

We are excited to invite our community to experience “Taking Flight - The Celebration of Birds,” a joyful celebration of all things bird and all things artistic! This exhibit will showcase the creativity of local, regional, and national artists and feature a variety of mediums that highlight the beauty and wonder of our feathered friends.
