18th Annual Event
Auction: Sunday, May 4th, 2025, 6:00pm at St. Francis Church – Parish Hall
DONATE A BIRDHOUSE – (due by April 20th)
Every spring we put out a call for help to the artists, community members, businesses and organizations of Gallup and the surrounding area to take part in the Birdhouse Project.
Each participant can use the standard birdhouse supplied them or have the option to make or buy their own. They are asked to decorate, reinvent, repurpose, or embellish it.
The response to the project has always been overwhelming. Gallup artists, craftspeople, city businesses, and others created one of a kind birdhouses. Not only is Gallup represented, but also Belen, Thoreau, Albuquerque, the Navajo Nation, Denver, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan and Oklahoma.
