Project Cuckoo Art Submission

Over the last few weeks, The City of Renton Recreation and Neighborhoods Division has put together a variety of recreation, STEM, and health and wellness activities centered around the joys of the outdoors called “Campin’ Out”. To celebrate our last week of programming. We are inviting residents to take part in a week dedicated to the arts!

As part of the week long theme "Van-Gogh Outdoors", we are encouraging residents to transform their every day birdhouse into a work of art, and submit their art piece as part of our "Project Cuckoo Virtual Art Gallery". 

We hope to capture the sentiment, emotions, and stories of our residents, and use this community art project as an opportunity for residents to express their feelings in a unique way that can be captured and shared for years to come!

If you would like to submit your work, please answer the following questions below, as well as share a photo of your completed birdhouse masterpiece!

We would like to thank the Renton Municipal Arts Commission for their sponsorship and support of this experience! If you have any questions please contact Drey Hicks, Neighborhood Program Coordinator, at dhicks@rentonwa.gov. Thank you!
