Welcome to the Smith & Vallee Gallery's Annual Bird Invitational,
‘Fowl Play’. Running from February 1 through February 25, 2024, this
showcase brings together a diverse group of talented local artists
who have been inspired by the beauty and enchantment of birdlife
in their artistic creations.
‘Fowl Play’ serves as a celebration of avian wonders and an
exploration of the interconnectedness between art and nature.
Birds have long been a source of inspiration for artists across
cultures and throughout history. Their immense diversity, vibrant
colors, and graceful movements have fascinated us, encapsulating
the essence of freedom and the beauty of the natural world.
Whether through their melodies, plumage, or intricate behaviors,
birds have the power to evoke a sense of awe and wonder in all
who encounter them.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this bird-inspired world and let
the artworks transport you to ethereal forests, open skies, and
hidden niches where avian wonders dwell.
Thank you for joining us on this artistic journey celebrating the
captivating world of birds.
