FOR THE BIRDS ART SHOW AT CAPE JOURIMAIN NATURE CENTRE

The art show For the Birds, now hanging at Cape Jourimain Nature Centre, commemorates 100 years of migratory bird conservation and especially the centennial of the convention between Canada and the United Sates for the protection of all birds that migrate across North American international borders. The artwork has also been displayed in Washington, D.C. and has recently received a Robert Bateman Award.

Fourteen students from the Department of Fine Arts at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick have created art works on the theme of migratory bird conservation. Reproductions of their works are presently displayed in Ottawa on outdoor panels near theCanadian Museum of History until the end of 2017. The original paintings will be displayed atCape Jourimain Nature Centre for eight weeks.
