2024 Art Exhibit: The Power of Perspective
How do we focus our creative “vision”? Consider the scope of an eagle’s eye—the narrow view of a gleaning warbler—the shadowed sight of a loon underwater. We may see birds above us from the ground, or below us from a plane. We may use a camera lens to record from afar, or a magnifier and lamps to perceive what is normally unknown. How does time influence your perspective? What if we “zoom out” from one bird to a species, to an ecosystem, to a planet? What if we “zoom in” to one bird to its wing, to a feather, to a gene?
How does your art reveal a point of view?
The Birds of Vermont Museum’s 2024 community art show brings together paintings, drawings, sculpture, photographs, poetry, and other works that share and stretch our perspectives. The creations in this show come at these questions literally, figuratively, emotionally, historically, and metaphorically. Visit, and try out a different viewpoint.
The show is open from May – October, and is included with Museum admission
