The RiverArts Street Festival called !magine is a community street festival along High Street on Sunday, September 11 from 1:00 to 6:00 that will include family fun for everyone: arts and crafts activities for all ages; artists selling their work; hands-on community arts projects; quick draw, photography, and sculpture competitions; music and food. It will be a fun way to celebrate RiverArts 10th Anniversary, a chance to re-engage with the community after the pandemic slowdown and a reminder of the value of arts to our community.
The festival offers several opportunities for creative folks and organizations. Artists are invited to register for space to sell their art or to enroll in a Quick Draw competition that will be judged along the Cross Side of Fountain Park. The third opportunity is for imaginative makers either as individuals or as part of a team to create a sculpture. The call for that is below. For more information or to register for these events, go to RiverArts website or call at 410 778 6300.
A Call for Creative Street Sculptures For RiverArts Street Festival
Chestertown RiverArts is excited to announce our quirky, anything goes, free-standing and free sculpture competition that will be featured at our 10th anniversary celebration, !magine on Sunday, September 11 from 1:00 to 6:00. We plan to enliven the middle of High Street with a menagerie of wild things, curious characters and gravity-defying assemblages.
All fun-loving creatives are invited to design and construct an imaginative sculpture that makes people smile, ponder or wonder. Both individuals and teams (whether representing an organization or a group of friends) are invited to participate and may enter more than one sculpture. This would be a perfect way to provide some extra visibility for your organization. Festival goers will vote on a “People’s Choice” winner.
