THE CROW SHOW 2023
The visual arts tradition continues at The Studio Door with the ninth edition of The Crow Show. The exhibition has become the gallery’s most enduring exhibition, a San Diego Tradition. Artists from across the globe competitively submit artworks. Art Patrons and Crow enthusiasts ask about the works all year long.
Having taken on mythological importance, Crows appear in all parts of the world. In folklore, they may foreshadow tragedy or usher in good news. The reality is a highly intelligent bird capable of social interactions. In recent years, the crow has become a muse to many artists. This annual visual art exhibition seeks to represent the many faces of the Crow in reality and fantasy.
This exhibition catalog showcases the works selected for 2023.
