MBAA invites you to join us for our 9th annual “For the Birds” exhibit. This exhibit is held in conjunction with the Morro Bay Annual Bird Festival, a yearly event promoting an understanding and appreciation of birds and other wildlife, and an awareness of environmental and conservation issues of the Central Coast. Birders from all over the United States come together to experience our wonderful and diversified ecosystem on the West Coast of California. Artists have been asked to share their artistic talents with the many visitors attending the Festival through art that celebrates the varieties of birds and other wildlife, and their habitats, in our area.

Artists may submit up to three 2D wall-hung artwork, 10 note cards, 5 matted prints, and three 3D pieces for this exhibit.
