The Pajaro Valley Arts Council is hosting Los Pájaros, an exhibition of bird themed art to celebrate the many birds from which the Pájaro Valley draws its name. It is timed to coincide with the Monterey Bay Birding Festival hosted by the City of Watsonville which draws people from around the U.S., England and Mexico. You are invited to submit bird themed works in all media, including, but not limited to, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, assemblage, and science illustration. Entries will be juried by Jane Gregorius and Susan Matulich.
