A new exhibition at the Hudgens Center for Art and Learning in Gwinnett features works by artists whose subject reveals loss and endangered birds, along with works celebrating nature with birds and their habitats. “Three Billion” is a group show co-sponsored by Georgia Audubon. Artist Laura W. Adams is the curator and she, along with sculptor Chris Condon, joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes to talk about the exhibition.
The exhibit is open and runs until April 24.

About the title of the exhibition:
“‘Three Billion’ is a reference to a study that came out right before the pandemic in October of 2019. Science Magazine published a study looking at bird populations over the last 50 years and to their surprise they found that we have lost a third of our bird population. It amounts to approximately three billion birds. One of the more shocking parts of the study was that this loss of bird life reached across many different biomes of bird species,” said Adams.
