Port Washington-Saukville Arts Council invites you to submit work for consideration in

Flight Paths & Foot Paths, a curated exhibition exploring migration, movement, and the routes that shape us. ​

Inspired by World Migratory Bird Day, Flight Paths & Foot Paths, examines migration as both a natural and human experience. Birds navigate vast distances guided by instinct, memory, and seasonal change. Humans also move across landscapes and through life stages, shaped by memory, transformation, and belonging. 

​

This exhibition invites artists to reflect on themes of navigation, home and return, memory, environmental connection, seasonal change, and our relationship between place and identity. By placing avian and human migration in dialogue, Flight Paths & Foot Paths highlights the universal rhythms of departure, adaptation, and arrival that connect all living beings.
