In conjunction with our 16th Annual Bird-home Auction, we wanted to invite regional artists to create artworks under the theme of “Coming Home”. This theme encourages artists to create pieces that embody the visual and emotional aspect of home. During this pandemic, we have spent a lot of time at home, but what does home mean to you? From houses and bird-homes to family, friends, and places, home is what you make of it.
Habitat for Humanity helps provide and maintain homes for families in need. Through physically building and maintaining homes to educating families on important aspects of life, Habitat for Humanity shows that home is more than just a roof over someone’s head. This year, we wanted to celebrate their impact on families by hosting a group show, “Coming Home’, and a bird-home auction during the month of August.
35% of the proceeds from each piece sold go directly to help Habitat for Humanity provide safe, comfortable housing for families in need in the Springfield area.
