Deadline for submissions to Wings • Waters • Ways
The Birds of Vermont Museum invites art submissions that dive and soar with the ways of wings and waters for our 2026 community art show.
Explore the interwoven history of humans, birds, and waterways with your art. Consider upcoming “250th” celebrations, the much-longer history of humans on the landscape in the Green Mountains and Champlain Valley, and the much, much, much longer stories of how birds have evolved with, use, and been influenced by water and waterways. Ponder habitats, adaptations, and interactions.
The entire Call to Artists with all details is at https://birdsofvermont.org/call-to-artists-wings-waters-ways/
TODAY is the last day to submit artworks in any media, by new or returning artists, of any age, to the Wings • Waters • Ways art show by 11:59 PM. Continue reading “Deadline for submissions to Wings • Waters • Ways“
