YOUR BIRDHOUSE WILL PROVIDE
A SAFE HAVEN FOR TROUBLED TEENS!

Why birdhouses?
Birdhouses are a safe haven for birds on a journey. Though seldom their final residence, the birdhouses provide temporary, protective shelters for birds in transition. Such is Project Return a way station for troubled teenage girls while they repair their lives and find their wings, ultimately to make their way back home to a more settled life.

Be a part of a great event!
Join well-known artists, architects, designers, celebrities and your neighbors in supporting Project Return - a special home where troubled teens are provided a supportive place to heal. Don't miss being part of a unique, highly publicized and enormously successful art event that benefits an important program.

Let your creativity take flight!
Create your birdhouse in any medium, any format - paintings, antiques, feeders are all acceptable, the more whimsical and unique, the better. Birdhouses should be no smaller than a robin's egg and no larger than a swan.

Soaring successes!
The last eleven Project Return Birdhouse Auctions were soaring successes! More than 500 guests attended each event and thousands of birdhouses were contributed, generating significant contributions to benefit Project Return.
Many artists have been featured in local newspapers,
magazines, and television programs.

Birdhouse artist Rick Benson is a local builder and active Westport resident. Here he displays his creation, "The Onion Barn." This scale model was built from original architectural plans and represents a piece of Westport's unique past in onion farming in the early part of the last century. Three-in-one, it is a piece of art, a part of pre-millennium history a sanctuary for birds!
