Local Audubon Club Invites Artists to Show Their Bird Art on St. John

The National Audubon Society of the Virgin Islands is inviting artists who paint, photograph, sculpt, or otherwise depict birds to show their work at a one-day pop-up art show scheduled for March 21 at Coconut Coast Studios on St. John.

Elaine Estern, the owner of Coconut Coast Studios, said she would clear out the gallery for the show so that only bird art will be featured. Participating artists are asked to purchase a membership to the Audubon Society for $30 or make a donation to the non-profit organization. Art work for the show must be brought to the gallery on Friday, March 20.

“There is no limit on size of art, but the birds must be local Virgin Islands birds,” said Estern, who serves on the board of the local Audubon Society chapter. Coconut Coast Studios is located at Frank Bay, right next to a 2.4-acre pond, which has been adopted by the V.I. Audubon Society.
