Albirda - PUT A BIRD ON IT


  • Alberta Craft Gallery - Calgary 1721 - 29 Avenue Southwest Calgary, AB, T2T 1P5 Canada (map)

Are you one of the many Albertans who flocked to the fields, meadows, marshes, and forests of our province to sooth their covid weariness? Have you whiled away hours observing the habits of our fine feathered friends in the beautiful Alberta landscape? A fantastic spectacle of avian delights, the Albirda – Put a Bird On It exhibition in the Feature Gallery at the Alberta Craft Council, is a celebration of the fascinating creatures of flight that live in and migrate through our province each year. With fine craft objects from over 60 Alberta craft artists, Albirda: Put a Bird on It celebrates our province’s winged wildlife through a broad diversity of depicted bird species, materials, and artistic approaches.
