‘Hope’ is the Thing with Feathers
This art exhibition, organised by the Scottish Ornithologists Club in collaboration with Visual Arts Scotland (VAS), presents work by 34 artists inspired by birds.
About ‘Hope’ is the Thing with Feathers
VAS is a leading platform for contemporary artists working in fine arts and applied arts. The exhibition reflects the broad base of skills and interests of the group and includes: jewellery, textiles, ceramics and monumental garden sculpture as well as painting, drawing and printmaking. The themes touched on by the artists are equally varied with many reflecting on the comfort, inspiration and sheer delight that we find in the observation of birds. The title, from the eponymous poem by Emily Dickinson, reflects this sentiment.
