Join Sanctuary staff and a local artist to learn about the lives of the striking Northern Cardinal and paint your own wooden bird sculpture.

 

The Brushes and Beaks event is set for 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, in the Sanctuary’s classroom.

 

Participants will learn about Northern Cardinals, their unique traits and behaviors, and then will let their own creativity fly by painting their own wooden cardinal. A local artist will provide guidance on the painting, and participants will take their wooden birds home.

 

The cost of attendance for Sanctuary members is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors and students, and $4 for children ages 2-17. For non-members, admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and students, and $6 for children ages 2-17. Register to reserve your spot at bit.ly/kbs-brushes-and-beaks-2025.
