LOGAN — The Hansen Museum in Logan is pleased to announce the 47th annual "Birds in Art" exhibition, on view now through November 5.
Organized annually since 1976 by the world-renown Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin, the juried exhibition has featured thousands of artists from around the world and is widely recognized as one of the best showcasing avian art.
For the 2022 show, 570 artists submitted 946 works, with 118 selected by the three-person jury for inclusion, fifty of which made the trip to the Hansen Museum as part of the traveling exhibition.
A fully illustrated, color catalog accompanies each Birds in Art exhibition and is available upon request. This exhibit is one of the most prestigious exhibits of wildlife art in the world.
“Birds in Art” is replete with birds strutting, vocalizing, socializing, preening, and soaring. Majestic yet fragile, birds connect us with the natural world. Heralding each sunrise and gathering at dusk, these harbingers of seasonal and environmental change endlessly fascinate and inspire.
The 2022 exhibition includes 23 master artists and 33 international artists, representing 15 different countries.
The exhibition includes various mediums: paintings in watercolor, oil, and acrylic; sculptures in stone, wood, and bronze; drawings in graphite, pastel, chalk, and charcoal; and other categories such as serigraphy, woodcut, linocut, and etching. This exhibition is a collection of the very best avian artists in the world and will remain on view through November 5 at the Hansen Museum.
The museum is open Monday through Friday 9-12 and 1-4; Saturdays 9-12 and 1-5; Sundays and holidays 1-5. We are closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. We are handicapped accessible, and admission is always free thanks to the generous support of the Dane G. Hansen Foundation.
