Audubon Miami Valley’s 11th Annual Bird Art Exhibition and Festival

Our Annual Bird Exhibition and Festival seeks to educate students on birds of the Midwest, birds of the Mississippi Flyway and how Climate Change is affecting bird populations and behaviors. In addition to artwork, there will be hands-on children’s activities, refreshments, and a naturalist from Hueston Woods State Park will have live birds.

We welcome young artists and birders to enter art works for the exhibition. Artists submitting work will receive a gift and all submissions will be exhibited.
