Birthday trip sparks puffin-portrait art show, and student quip giveaway

Published:

A Brandon University student is hanging a unique portrait of Newfoundland puffins after her caption was selected in an interactive art show at BU’s Curve Gallery.

The show featured portraits of Atlantic Puffins — colourfully beaked birds with engaging personalities — and invited viewers to suggest their proposed tag lines for the varied and often silly poses that the puffins were captured in. Some may think of the project as similar to making memes; older attendees may have been reminded of a New Yorker cartoon caption contest.
