Drop in anytime during this workshop to be part of a large-scale civic engagement art project comprised of over 10,000 bird replicas. Participants will be led through the crafting process to create a replica of a bird that died in 2023 from window collisions along Chicago’s lakefront using donated fabric scraps that would otherwise end up in the landfill. Fabric birds are tagged with their common and scientific name, date of death and the name of the artist. The finished artwork will be part of a “red carpet” of birds measuring the length of a football field. Information for making home windows safer for birds is included.
Free with admission; park admission ($5/vehicle) still applies.
Drop by the Visitor Center anytime between 12 PM and 3 PM.
