Holly Greenberg's Bird Collision's Project Workshop

Brushwood welcomes artist Holly Greenberg and her Bird Collision's Project. Join us as we use supplies from BASE to create bird replicas, helping reach the project’s goal of 10,836 birds! 

Chicago lies in the migratory path of over 300 species of birds, making it the most dangerous city in the country for our avian friends. In one night alone, 966 birds struck just one building on Chicago’s lakefront. 
In an effort to raise awareness about one of the leading causes of bird deaths, we are making replicas of every bird killed from a window collision and collected on the streets of Chicago in 2023 and we need your help! 

Through the workshop, participants are given a blank bird body, assigned a specific bird that died in 2023 from window collisions along Chicago’s lakefront, and are led through the crafting process to create a replica. We hope you can join us on Saturday for this free event (registration required), and help support this civic engagement art project!

Note: This event is to create with and support the Bird Collisions Project, as such participants do not keep their bird replicas.
