It's Owl Good

Put your bid in today to own part of our It's Owl Good Exhibit. Select owl sculptures that are on display are also for sale! For the ninth year in a row Airlie Gardens, in Wilmington, N.C., hosted their annual art exhibit! Airlie Gardens has selected artists or teams of artists to decorate, paint, and otherwise adorn one of the oversized fiberglass owls. These owls were placed throughout the grounds for guests to enjoy as part of their garden experience. The artist’s design has been selected based on creativity, craftsmanship, use of materials, the ability to appeal to all age groups, outdoor sustainability, and durability.

Airlie Gardens is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is: to ensure and help preserve Airlie Gardens as an outstanding, historic public garden with cultural and environmental programs developed to serve New Hanover County residents and other visitors.

Celebrating 11 years of art exhibits, this year’s exhibit, Turtley Awesome!, will feature ten oversized fiberglass turtles! Each turtle is uniquely decorated, painted, or otherwise adorned by a select group of artists and placed on display throughout the grounds for guests to enjoy as part of their garden experience. Turtley Awesome! will be on display July 14th through December 31st 2023!
