limited edition bird fest 2021 t-shirt
Pre-order Now Open: The new Georgia Bird Fest 2021 shirt features the 2021-2022 Georgia Audubon conservation focal species, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, on a heather teal background designed by Atlanta-based artist Sachi Rome.
Shirt Pre-sale: Due to a small number of in-person events scheduled for this winter due to COVID-19, only a limited number of additional shirts will be made available for sale following the pre-sale. To ensure that you are able to get your preferred shirt size, please pre-order your shirt now. Shirts are available in unisex sizes X-Small through 3X-Large. Shirts are available in our online store and may be purchased for $20, plus tax (and optional shipping). About the Artist: Sachi Rome is a painter and mixed media artist exploring the idea of memory, portraiture, and the dignity of using and giving new life to discarded things. The use of Bible and hymnal pages from her grandmother's collection are a driving force in many of the images she creates. Her murals and public art can be seen throughout Atlanta, along the Westside Trail on the Atlanta BeltLine, Old Fourth Ward, Five Points, and at Blue Heron Nature Preserve. |
