Stop by the Visitor's Center classroom to join Refuge staff and local artist Patricia Lane Evans for a morning of shorebird art! Our annual Youth Shorebird Art Contest is currently accepting submissions from students grades K-12. We need your help to spread the word about shorebird conservation- so stop by anytime this morning to learn more about the contest and get started on your own original artwork. We will provide art materials and information about all the amazing shorebirds who use our beaches, as well as some tips and tricks for how to draw birds!

Participants of any age are welcome to attend this drop-in program, but only students in grades K-12 are eligible to submit their art to the Youth Shorebird Art Contest. Submissions are due April 30, 2024, and participants do not need to submit their art during the drop-in program. Art materials will be provided, but feel free to bring your own as well!
Registration is not required, but you can sign up for updates online.
