SUMMARY:Birds and Myth art show continues (October)

Visit often\, as some works are for sale and may go to new homes during the season. \nBirds are some of our teachers\, not only through our senses and observations\, but also through our stories about them.

Legends\, beliefs\, representations\, truth\, insight\, guidance\, metaphors\, meanings\, and understandings all play a part. What birds play a part in your autumn mythologies? You might enjoy reading the call to artists also. \nThe show is open when the Museum is (Wednesday – Sundays\, May 1 – October 31) and is included with admission.
