Fly Bird, a design-oriented gift shop at 719 Lake Street in Oak Park, is now hosting its 6th annual student art show and auction through May 2. District 97 6th graders from both Julian and Brooks middle schools, working with their art teachers, have donated their time and talent to create beautiful ink paintings of birds in Sumi-E style. All proceeds benefit the Oak Park Education Foundation's Art Start program.

Bidding starts at only $10, with a $30 "Buy It Now" option. Bids can be made via email, phone or in person. Frame Warehouse is offering $25 discounts on framing.
