National Opportunity
2013 Gloucester HarborWalk
Public Art Challenge

Deadline: February 8, 2013

The Gloucester Committee for the Arts, on behalf of the City of Gloucester, MA, is seeking professional artist/s and/or artist team(s) for new public art work in downtown Gloucester for our 2012 designed HarborWalk.

Visit http://ghwalk.org to view/download the complete Call.

From there, artists wanting to apply will submit their entry in digital format through CaFE™ at https://www.callforentry.org/

Artists will create a profile page on the CaFE site, upload artwork images and input artwork details.

There is no fee to apply, nor to create a profile on CaFE. Following successful set up, all interested applicants will be granted full access to the detailed application; simply click on “Apply to Calls” and click on “Gloucester HarborWalk Public Art Challenge”.

With all the incredible talent that exists here, it would be a shame to have artists from Pennsylvania or Oregon or somewhere else get to do the public art projects on our HarborWalk just because awesome artists here, who intimately know and love Gloucester, didn’t get their submissions together and in on time. If you have an idea, develop it and get working on your submission now. You have three weeks, and it doesn’t cost anything but your creativity and time to apply. Good luck to all who do a submission.

 So, this Thursday,believe it or not, Mr. Gordie “Sax” Beadle is joining us on the Rhumb Line stage for his annual visitation. Look for a bright light in the eastern sky. This cat is the Koolest Kat that is what am. This is really special: Mr. G. is the barometer of, the reason we breathe. Unbelievable. And he’s bringing his minions. That’s Mr. Matt Stubbs, on guitar, a force all his own, and Mr. Chris Ravelli, drumbler exquisite, now member of Roomful of Blooz. This, being a laggard,  makes me squeamish: I hope I can keep up. Rheumer has it that Gordie has a new CD out that is  the Bee’s knees. Expect sit-ins on sax, and definitely wear your dancing mukluks. Grief counsellors will be available. I’d like to buy a vowel…
