Ste. Genevieve’s art community will be celebrating the legacy of the town’s most famous artist. John James Audubon, renowned
artist and ornithologist, lived for a time in Ste. Genevieve in the early 19th Century. This April 2022 celebration will include nature-themed artwork during the 4th Friday Art Walk on Friday evening. A naturalist-led bird walk starting at 7:30am Saturday morning will explore the sights and sounds Audubon enjoyed here. Also, an original musical titled “Hope Is a Shy Bird” will be staged by the Ste. Genevieve Theatre Guild  Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 2pm.
 Along with additional activities, an exhibit of birdhouses will be on display during the Audubon event.  What a busy the weekend of April 22-24 will be! It also marks Audubon’s 237th birthday and Earth Day 2022.

This event is sponsored by the Sainte Genevieve Art Guild.
