*LYREBYRD* Is operated in conjunction with the bellebyrd and blakkbyrd artblogs, collectively known as The Aviary.

The objective of the two blogs, *bellebyrd* and *blakkbyrd*, is to introduce Australian art to an international audience, and international art to an Australian audience. All media are covered, with particular emphasis on current trends. The lyrebyrd mailing list will act in support of the blogs and their forthcoming activities.
