DESCRIPTION
Airlie Gardens is not new to hosting unique art exhibits. Airlie has hosted these exhibits going on what will be their ninth year in a row. Local artists are invited to help decorate, paint, or otherwise transform one of 10 oversized owl sculptures. These fiberglass owl sculptures in Wilmington, NC, measure 4′ tall. Once finished, these owl statues will be placed throughout the grounds for guests to enjoy as part of their garden experience. Artists can either paint these owls by themselves or in a group. Airlie will select designs based on creativity, craftsmanship, use of materials the ability to appeal to all age groups, outdoor sustainability, and durability. The annual art exhibit will begin in July of 2021 and will go on until December of the same year. Once finished this art project will be owlsome.
