Avian Spirits

Opening Reception:
Sunday, July 13, 2014

"'Hope' is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul," wrote Emily Dickinson in 1861. For centuries, artists have been attracted to and inspired by the ephemeral qualities of birds. Soaring above the Earth, birds have long symbolized freedom and aspiration. This group exhibition presents birds as metaphors for the human spirit.
