Opening Reception: November 13, 6 – 8pm
Prince Edward County Arts Council, Picton

Nestings by Heather Lindsay is a collection of abandoned bird nests and poems inspired by them, displayed to highlight the architectural wonder knitted into these intricate woven structures. Poem and nest combine to invite consideration of how fragments; letters, words or grasses and garden debris, assemble to make a new whole.

About the Vitrines

Housed in two custom-made display cases, this new exhibition series aims to increase the public visibility of artwork throughout the year while creating paid opportunities for artists. Located in the Armoury Atrium outside the County Arts Lab, in Picton the vitrines will feature rotating exhibitions by County artists working in a variety of mediums. The program is made possible thanks to a multi-year donation to the Artist Fund. For more information, visit countyarts.ca/funding.
