Call To Artists

ART ALONG THE CREEK ….5th YEAR!!!
Memorial Day Weekend: Saturday, May 26 thru Monday, May 28, 2012

ALL SCAPE MEMBERS ARE INVITED to exhibit in ART ALONG THE CREEK! A show for everyone no matter what your media or style: landscape, portraits, figurative, architecture, interiors, still life, floral, contemporary, abstract or surreal. The Juror is acclaimed painter Rick Stich.

This annual Show is SCAPE’S most successful show each year because of great art, music and the nearby I Madonnari chalk art festival at the Santa Barbara Mission, which drives thousands of art lovers to the SCAPE show. Our outdoor festival is held in the sylvan setting along Mission Creek across from Rock Nook Park at the intersection of Mission Canyon Road and Mountain Drive. The show benefits the Phoenix group for their Mission Creek restoration project: Saving Land Saving Lives!

INGATHERING.. On site Saturday May 26 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. We need to jury, curate, label and hang by 2:00 p.m. All art must be wired for hanging. The Entry Fee is $10 per entry or three for $25. All art must be wired for hanging on panels. We welcome very large pieces if artists can supply an easel to hang on.

We have fabulous music lined up: Glendessary Jam will play Sunday, and The Honeysuckle Possums, Larry Iwerks and others will play over the three day event. The show starts on Saturday from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. Sunday and Monday the show is open from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with a reception and award ceremony at 2:00. We are celebrating our 5th year and SCAPE’S 10th anniversary. We wish to honor those who founded the group! Marcia Burtt will receive honors for her dedication with SCAPE. Artists: please attend this gala reception. Special People’s choice award will be given to artist present!! Also all cash awards and Ribbons will be given out at that time!

One of the best things about the event is the camaraderie and teamwork of putting on a show. We need volunteers for onsite set up, ingathering, sales, hanging and take down, artists to do demos and hand out flyers. Many hands make light work!!! Please contact exhibit chair John Rindlaub at me@johnrindlaub.com, Filiberto at fplomelica@aol.com. or Leigh princessleighhm@aol.com. See you along the creek!
