Explore works from Tallahassee Museum collection in partnership with Audubon Florida, opening January 16 – May 31 in Phipps Exhibit Gallery on our campus.

2025 celebrates 125 years of Audubon in Florida. Formed to bring wading birds back from the brink of extinction, Audubon has been working for more than a century to protect birds because we know that the things birds rely on—healthy habitats, clean air, abundant fresh water, resilient coastlines—are the same things that people and other wildlife need to thrive. Birds are symbols and sentinels to measure our success, and they inspire us to work collaboratively and expansively throughout the hemisphere. In simplest terms, “what’s good for birds is good for the Earth.”

This exhibition presents art by American women artists who shared their lives, cultures, family traditions, wisdom, and beliefs through art.

Featured artists include Alynne Harris, Bessie Harvey, "Missionary" Mary Proctor, Mary T. Smith, and Ruby Williams.
