Savides Sculpture: Gaze at eight graceful, 7-foot-high, winged sculptures whose original form was created by world-renowned bird artist Stefan Savides of Avian Design in Klamath Falls. Marvel at sparkling dragonflies, Crater Lake scenes, and galloping herds of buffalo.

Multiple artists: Seen nowhere else in the world, these painted pelicans highlight our area as a birding hotspot, showcase the American White Pelican mascot of the City of Klamath Falls, and bedazzle onlookers with unprecedented artwork . To date, 18 POP pelicans have been embellished/painted by a total of 18 remarkably creative artists. 

Purchase Benefits: The majority of proceeds will target projects that help "connect kids to nature" - through the arts, outdoor classrooms, and birding festivals. Focus groups will include Klamath Basin Birding Trail, Klamath Outdoor Science School, Klamath Wingwatchers, and Winter Wings Festival. Funds also pay for initial casting costs, and a percentage will go back to the artists.

Tax Deductions: POP! purchases may be tax deductible, and matching contributions to the Oregon Cultural Trust may allow for further tax credits. See the Oregon Cultural Trust for direct tax credits on your Oregon income tax ($500 for individuals, $1,000 for couples filing jointly and $2,500 for Oregon corporations).

Pelican Joy: "These decorated pelican sculptures exhibit a sense of joy that can only come from the minds and hands of artists whose creativity is boundless," says POP! sculptor Stefan Savides. The 3-D POP! form led Stefan to create a larger pelican in bronze which graces the entranceway to the City near Veterans Park by the bird-studded waters of Lake Ewauna.

Pelican Designs: These fanciful pelicans have amazed everyone by the ingeniousness of their designs. One is spangled in a breathtaking mosaic of colored glass. Another depicts Crater Lake's Wizard Island, Llao Bluff, and the Phantom Ship. Others surprise with eye-catching artwork - from mountains to waterfalls, birds in flight to wildlife portraits, and magical landscape scenes. Yet another is colorfully decoupaged in beloved quilting patterns. Another is an F-15 fighter jet, complete with rocket pods and rudders. The final pelican is a magnificent aspen grove dappled with songbirds.

POP! Endorsement: POP! is endorsed by the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, and is a novel fundraiser by the 501 (c)3 nonprofit Klamath Wingwatchers to promote bird and wildlife appreciation, conservation, and education.
