Regatta Row 2021
Call for Artists !
The Jericho Arts Council (JAC) of Bainbridge is now accepting applications from artists who wish to participate in our 7th year of Regatta Row. Twenty juried Artists will express their creativity on unique Adirondack “Canoe Paddle Chairs” or upon petite child sized versions of the chairs, for a temporary month long sidewalk exhibition of art. Regatta Row is open to all artists from the acclaimed to the amateur. Painters, sculptors, craftsmen, multimedia artists and other wildly creative people are encouraged to apply!! This year the theme is:
"A Song"...maybe that inspires you, cheers you up, you sing in the shower, helps gets you through these Covid times, reminds you of Bainbridge, the River, the Hills... or just a good old (or new) favorite.
JAC will provide artists with the chairs, paint (Golden Artist Colors has generously donated their exceptional paints in the past) and a stipend of $125 for the adult chairs and $75 for the children’s chairs. Cash awards of $50 to $100 will be granted in 5 categories. Artists will be promoted with bio’s on the JAC website as well as in a media conference, regional press releases, posters, social media and on maps of the Art Trail. For a month, photos of each piece of art will be posted on the website along with the opportunity for bidding in an online auction, and voting for a “People’s Choice” award.
Giving regional artists a platform to showcase their work, Regatta Row increases the vibrancy of downtown and promotes an appreciation for the arts. Regatta Row is creating a public art space made possible through the help of local sponsors, and the volunteerism of the artistic community. Bringing beauty to the Bainbridge community is a crucial element in creating a culture which values the arts, and a more beautiful world. Our unique Paddle Chairs celebrate our communities unique identity, while symbolizing cultural events in our area. Proceeds from the Online Art Auction will go to the Jericho Arts Council to support our Artists & Musicians and to create future events.
Apply today! Applications are due by February 12. Any individual or group can submit designs for this project. Individuals under the age of 17 must collaborate with an adult. If you want to participate or pass this invite on to others who may be interested and share this adventure with your social media postings, please do!
Artist applications and details are online at: www.jerichoarts.com. Questions and applications can be directed to the JAC Gallery Committee “Regatta Row 2021” at jacarttrail@gmail.com or by calling Rachel Hares at 607-643-2211.
