The Art of the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival

By

For sixteen years, the RGVBF has generated amazing and lovely bird art from some of our foremost artists—Kenn Kaufman, David Sibley, John O’Neill, Tony Bennett, to name just a few—always featuring a special Valley bird.  I thought it’d be fun to see them all together, so here is a line-up of the entire collection of event posters:

And this year we’ve worked with Oregon’s Ram Papish to offer the vibrant Golden-fronted Woodpeckers that you see on the home page.  The original painting will be on display and available for purchase in the Birder’s Bazaar silent auction area.  T-shirts in men’s green and ladies cut yellow will be sold.  Also, the event poster itself is available, complete with carrying tube.

We’re proud of our ongoing tradition of generating fine bird art.  It’s just one of the cool components of the RGVBF.

We’re still so torn up about missing the deadline to participate in the student art contest this past Fall:[ Every year my kids enjoy participating, receiving trophies and the whole festival experience, so this year we were all disappointed. But 2010 is a new year, and we’ll be back. Please keep me updated on dates and guidelines for this year’s contest. Continue doing the awesome job you’re doing to bring awareness and appreciation for our fine feathered friends.
Thanks a bunch,
