Community Art Project
Birdhouse Pop-Art
Community Art Projects gives residents the opportunity to have a creative outlet as well as be a participant in a larger group exhibition.
First Come First Served: (we have a limited amount)
Birdhouses will be ready to distribute on July 22 & 23, between 11 - 4 pm, and July 24 & 25, between 11 - 2 pm. All proceeds from the Birdhouse Pop-Art project will be donated to the Boys and Girls Club.
Due to the limited amount of birdhouses for this exhibit, we are asking residents to purchase one birdhouse per household and check on July 25 if interested in more.
Participants will purchase the birdhouse as part of the Stoneham Community Art Project. Birdhouses will need to be designed, decorated, painted, and return it to Ceramica Paint Studio for installation as part of the ¨Birdhouse Pop-Art” exhibit along the Greenway. Finished birdhouses need to be returned no later than August 6, 2020, to 380 Main Street in Stoneham.
