Dear Artists:
Each year NCA provides unfinished bird houses to our artist friends for transformation into a fine piece of art. We auction these at our annual Miner's Foundry event. This is a major fund raiser for our programs and a delight to our community.
Now is the time to ORDER your HOUSES as a "blank canvas" and to let your creative spirit fly free, so to speak. Of course you can build your own, You also can create a 2D or relief wall hanging.
See the slide show at the left for some of the wonderful and whimsical entries from prior years.
This year the houses include some new designs, and the opportunity for the artist to create an assemblage of basic houses to create a unique combined structure. They have been constructed and designed by local craftsman, and materials have been supplied by local firms.
So large or small, take your pick of the designs shown on this site and notify us of the components you need. Then embellish, modify, decorate to your hearts and inner whimsey's content.
Plan to return your newly born work of art to NCA by September 21
*for the opportunity for your art to be displayed in local businesses as well as the opportunity for live auction.
Thanks for your support, and we hope to see you for the reception at the Foundry.
