This ongoing program runs from Wednesday, June 3, to Sunday, Sept. 6. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays to Sundays. Did you know there are seven states that have the northern cardinal as their state bird? And Illinois is one of them! Enjoy creative interpretations of state birds through 28 unique paintings. Chicago-based artist and writer Marcia Whitney-Schenck portrays her subject matter in playful ways. She illustrates the state birds and adds visual word puns and unexpected associations. Enjoy Whitney-Schenck's art while taking in the birds at our bird feeders.
TIME: 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
