ALABAMA AUDUBON kicks off its new Art Series with a lab workshop that will focus on observing and heightening awareness of textures and patterns related to the Loggerhead Shrikes in Hale County.
Class members will learn how to create beautiful watercolor washes, and other watercolor and marbling techniques, to promote field inquiry and build an artistic and birding/mediation practice. The work at the end of the class will be suitable for framing or as an amazing correspondence to send to a friend while promoting bird conservancy.

EQUITY, DIVERSITY, & INCLUSION
Through more than seventy-five years of conservation work in one of our nation’s most ecologically rich states, Alabama Audubon has seen firsthand how diversity strengthens natural communities. This same principle applies to human communities, which is why our organization is committed to providing equitable and inclusive opportunities for all Alabamians to learn about and enjoy wild birds, their habitats, and the natural world. One of the best ways to support that belief is by valuing and actively seeking to strengthen diversity among our staff, our board, and our membership. To that end, Alabama Audubon welcomes everyone to participate in our work, and strives to make our programs, classes, and events welcome, inclusive, and accessible to all.
