Nestings Silent Art Auction – Showcase Your Talent at Jazz, Wine & Art 2025!

We’re super excited to announce that the Nestings Silent Art Auction is BACK! With 55 beautiful bird boxes selling out during Jazz, Wine & Art last August, we’re thrilled to invite County creatives to add their artistic expression to NEW solid pine bird feeders that were handmade by Dick Bird. Sales proceeds will benefit the artist and the South Shore Joint Initiative.

Only 25 bird feeders are available, so reserve yours ASAP! Bird feeder sales will directly support non-profit South Shore Joint Initiative’s work to protect, preserve and restore PEC’s South Shore.

Artists’ bird feeders will be displayed at the Mount Tabor Shed (2179 County Rd. 17, Milford) during SSJI’s second annual Jazz, Wine & Art fundraiser on August 16 from 1 pm to 5 pm. This much-anticipated event is part of the popular PEC Jazz Festival 2025.
