Avian Arts Exhibition 2026 

Show runs in KNC’s Glen Vista Gallery February 8 – April 30, 2026 

Artist Reception Sunday, February 8, 2-4 pm with FREE admission

KNC has invited artists and photographers of all ages to showcase their creative talents for the Avian Arts Exhibition contest. This event is designed to inspire a deeper appreciation for birdlife and promote awareness of avian species through visual storytelling. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or an avid birdwatcher with a camera, this contest is a great way to engage with nature, express your artistic vision, and contribute to bird conservation awareness. 

During the exhibit, visitors will be asked to vote on their favorite pieces, with the winners announced the week before the end of the show.  

The show will run through two of KNC’s popular events, Maple Sugar Festival and the Earth Day Celebration!
