The Squamish Environment Society is excited to announce Birds & Words, a fundraising art exhibition and online raffle. Your participation helps protect wild birds through support for the Society’s ongoing bird monitoring programs.
Birds & Words is a collaborative art exhibit showcasing Sea-to-Sky visual artists and poets, inspired by species seen in the Society’s monthly bird counts in the Squamish Estuary. This impactful art installation brings together 20 bird paintings and 6 poems in a cohesive mosaic, demonstrating how words and visual art can complement one another and convey an important environmental message.
Buy your tickets for a chance to win one of the 20 original bird paintings created especially for the 2024 Birds & Words exhibition. Each painting is 25 x 25 cm (12 x 12 inches). Ticket prices range from 1 for $10 to 100 for $100. The raffle web page includes a list of participating artists and their paintings.
The Birds ‘n Words team (Toby Jaxon, Tatiana Lee and Zoë Evamy) is grateful for support from the Squamish Arts 2024 Arts & Culture Grant. Together they work to provide opportunities for creative expression and dialogue, in support of local conservation initiatives.
The installation will be on display at the Squamish Valley Golf Club restaurant until the prize draw is held on February 14, 2025.
