Colorscape: It's all about the art
NORWICH – From the aspiring artist to the professional designers, painters, sculptors and more, visual arts in various mediums can be seen decorating East and West side parks downtown this weekend.
During the annual Colorscape Chenango fine arts festival, anything from hand made jewelry to glass blowing to wood carving and sculpting can be seen on display, being made, and for sale.
Roughly 89 artists are expected for the 13th annual Colorscape Chenango which on average draws in 14,000 to 16,000 people from all over the region. Increasing from 85 vendors last year and 80 the year before, it seems the event is continuing to expand year to year.
Local, regional and national artists are drawn to the event and Colorscape visual arts coordinator Peggy Finnegan says the show brings in more artists year to year. “The show gets better every year,” she said.
Finnegan says the booth spaces have been designated and the park should be filled to capacity as the festival gets underway Saturday at 10 a.m. Finnegan says there are many new artists on hand who have never been seen at Colorscape previously. She also says many of the artists will be conducting on-site demonstrations. “When demonstrations are done, it is one way people are introduced how the art is created, and people can get more involved in the process,” said Finnegan.
The categories of art include ceramics, 2-D and 3-D mixed media, sculpture, glass, photography, water color painting, jewelry, fiber, metal works, drawings and pastels, oil and acrylic paintings, wood, and other miscellaneous pieces.
Finnegan says there are a great number of painters attending this year’s event than in some of the years past. There is a new beadwork artist, paper maker, metal work exhibitor, drawing booth, collages exhibit and more.
For children, art will come alive for the duration of the festival. Art Zones 1 and 2 in East park are expected to bustle with commotion and Golden Artist Colors will pair with the Chenango County SPCA to provide an activity in celebration of the animal shelter’s 100 year anniversary.
