Celebrating Birds and Bird Artwork
Birds are beautiful, majestic, and enchanting. It’s no wonder that they inspire our more artistic side! Now is the perfect time to develop your artistic skills and see birds through a new perspective. We’re getting into the spirit of #BirdArtWeek2025 with special savings on all of our creative courses. Pick up a self-paced, online course to develop your creative skill of choice at a special low price!
What is #BirdArtWeek2025 ?
This annual art-a-day social media challenge, January 19–25, encourages everyone to be inspired by the beauty and wonder of birds. Each day on our Instagram page, a different artist challenges and inspires us with a prompt post and their own interpretation. Then, it’s your turn! Use your favorite medium to create artwork based on the daily theme. And be sure to share your work with the #BirdArtWeek2025 hashtag so the community can see what you do!
All week long, we’ll be giving away free Cornell Lab memberships and Bird Academy courses to randomly selected participants using the hashtag on Instagram. While we’ll keep the closest eye on Instagram, we hope you’ll celebrate birds along with us on all of your favorite platforms! We can’t wait to see what you create.
