Calendar of Events

The AVIFAUNA 2025 is a month-long benefit and celebration of local birds and their intersections with humans. Throughout Knoxville and East Tennessee, we will be hosting public birding expeditions, exhibitions, educational opportunities and more! Additionally, the Museum of Infinite Outcomes will be showcasing our annual exhibition of human-crafted homes for birds. In praise of wilderness, birds are a constant reminder that the human world is not separate from nature. Instead, the two are intricately braided together.
