Our Feathered Friends: Birds of the Tri-Counties

On view March 17, 2018 - July 30, 2018

Three artists shared their unique artistic perspectives of bird species that can be found in the tri-county region (Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Louis Obispo). Jim Hodgson, René C. Reyes, and George Lockwood shared artworks of their tributes to our local feathered friends. During the exhibition, there were birding lectures and excursions to expand the viewer’s knowledge of local birds. Santa Barbara County and the overall region is renowned for bird species diversity and is a hotspot for birders with the central coast a stop along the migratory Pacific Flyway.
