Of A Feather
Curator
Corridor Gallery, Woodstock Art Gallery, Woodstock, ON
Until Jun. 24, 2023
Birds have long been a fascination of the human imagination. These nine artworks from the Woodstock Art Gallery’s permanent collection speak to a wide geographic area as well as a diversity of cultural perspectives. Across these works, the bird is rendered more than just a humble creature of flesh and feather, but is transmuted through the artist’s brush or chisel into an expression of the human spirit. Whatever our physical differences, artists have long sought to convey that birds and humans are of a feather.

Programming will include a lineup of talks, performances, and screenings related to the exhibition and the broad themes of ecological stewardship and decolonization.
The event will also launch a 300-page publication documenting the exhibition, sharing stories, and detailing the related creative projects. The event is open to all, including a reception to cap off the events on Friday and a welcome tea with treats at midday on Saturday.
