Find art activities to help your patrons connect with nature. Activities can include fabric collages, tiles, bird mobiles and much more.
Hold an art or photography contest featuring urban nature and host a “gallery showing.” Highlight some of the wonderful work you receive by hosting a photo or art gallery. Make sure to include a youth section. Send some of your entries to the Lab of Ornithology.
Sponsor a “bird art” treasure hunt in your library or neighborhood. Participants may have to find clues, artifacts, or components to solve a mystery or to create an original work of art! Pair up with local artists to make this event more meaningful.
Create a story that requires that children find clues outside by looking at their neighborhood birds or habitat.
