Witness: Artists by Nature
The final event in the series, Witness: Artists by Nature, will offer an artistic experience that examines space, nature, and time. Invitees will explore a historic Houston park through an artistic lens by creating Plein air paintings and learning how local African American artists have used nature imagery and symbolism in their creative process. Participants will join Houston Audubon on a bird walk for artistic inspiration. Our lives are intimately connected with the lives of birds and they have long inspired artists around the world through spiritual symbolism and scientific inquiry. From their birdsongs to their migration patterns, birds teach us the rhythms of life on earth and give us opportunities to foster a meaningful connection with the natural world.
Location: ER & Ann Taylor Park —1850 Reed Rd., Houston, TX 77051
