The Birds of Vermont Museum seeks art that speaks to both humans' and birds' perspectives and experiences. How might a change in perspective alter people's understanding of the lives and needs of the birds who share our world?
TODAY is the last day to submit artworks in any media, by new or returning artists, of any age, to the Power of Perspective art show by 11:59 PM!
Our 2024 show is about the ways perspective and points of view can shape what we perceive. How do we focus our creative "vision"? Consider the scope of an eagle's eye—the narrow view of a gleaning warbler—the shadowed sight of a loon underwater. We may see birds above us from the ground, or below us from a plane. We may use a camera lens to record from afar, or a magnifier and lamps to perceive what is normally unknown. How does time influence your perspective? What if we "zoom out" from one bird to a species, to an ecosystem, to a planet? What if we "zoom in" to one bird to its wing, to a feather, to a gene?
