Flyways: A Celebration of Migratory Shorebirds
6 June - 30 July 2024* (Core and Wall of Wings) Glyph Gallery and Creative Space, 38 Bank Street, Port Fairy VIC Hosted by South West Makers Port Fairy, the exhibition will include works by local artists alongside prints from the Overwintering Project Print Portfolio as well as a Wall of Wings! Many of the new works were inspired by a birding talk and walk with local BirdLife Australia representative, Andrew Patterson. Port Fairy is one of the locations where Latham’s Snipe population numbers are regularly monitored, following research to prevent a housing development at the Powling Street Wetland Reserve. Fourteen species of migratory shorebird regularly visit Port Fairy. We hope this exhibition will help to shine a light on these international visitors and their local habitat. (*Core exhibitions are exhibitions that include all or part of the Overwintering Project Print Portfolio.) |
