Other art happening this day:

Rock to Rock and Audubon Connecticut are building a 1,000 bird public art display that illustrates themes of how you can help create healthier environment for people and birds. Picture of plastic birds we are making on the right. We need YOUR help in making birds! Your art will become part of this public art display. Come see your art displayed with hundreds more at the Rock to Rock Earth Day Ride Green Fair on April 25 and at International Migratory Bird Day on May 9. Both events are being held in East Rock Park. Audubon Connecticut and the New Haven León Sister City Project are leading the art installation project.
