Even in lockdown, we city folk can still enjoy birdlife … and a new exhibition is celebrating these feathered creatures online.
Bird Folk is an illustration exhibition that’s celebrating 44 Stanley’s urban birdlife and it’s a collaboration between the team from Papersnap, Brunch shop and 44 Stanley that features the works of 14 local illustrators and artists.
While it was originally scheduled to open inside Brunch’s illustration gallery earlier in May, it is now open online. 
Bird Folk, an illustration exhibition celebrating 44 Stanley’s urban birdlife has opened. The exhibition includes 14 limited-edition prints by illustrators and artists in their own individual styles.
Brian Green, 44 Stanley developer and owner, said, ‘At 44 Stanley we value community, the importance of green spaces and nature and of course, great art and design. During this strange lockdown period, these values seem more important than ever and we’re thrilled to be part of something that brings them all together and hope that our extended community supports the talented team at Brunch and all these amazing artists.
