Peak Migration

THIS CALL FOR WORK IS NOW CLOSED
An Open Call for Bird-Themed Artwork
Presented by Calico Exhibitions
Upstairs at Small Talk
1 Tinker Street, Woodstock, NY

OPEN CALL: Calico is putting together a juried exhibition of bird-themed artwork.

Peak Migration borrows its name from the time of year when places like Woodstock fill up - with birds, and with people. Both pass through. Some become regulars. A few never leave. The exhibit is primarily about birds, but the metaphor is undeniable.

2D work (painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, collage, etc.) and sculpture
