The Crow Show 2017

The Crow Show 2017 is an exhibition of visual art running from February 3–26, 2017, produced by The Studio Door. This is the third annual exhibition exploring the crow's representation in reality and fantasy across art forms. The exhibition seeks to represent the many faces of the crow and invites artists to show what the crow means to them.

Oversized jewelry defined as fine art is acceptable. The exhibition does not accept small jewelry, video, film, performance art, installation, or works requiring external electrical sources.
