THE CROW SHOW 2020 For six years, The Studio Door has been a roosting place for Crows and other Corvids in fine art. Artistic interpretations have ranged from scientific to mythological, delighting artists and patrons alike. This year will bring a total of 380 works of art under this theme that have been juried into this national series since 2015. We welcome you to join us in exploring the skies as we watch and are watched by our feathered neighbors. This year, artists from across the continent are once again represented. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a diverse range of works created in clay, bronze, paper, oil, acrylic and mixed media. While the exhibition lasts only one month, the catalogs live on. When you find an artwork that excites you, we challenge you to seek out the artists to see what other thrilling works that they offer. The Studio Door is a strong advocate for the arts, sciences and humanities. We believe that fine artists are an important part of a civilized life. Please encourage artists to continue to bring beauty and thought into our personal spaces. Support artists by buying their art.
