Artists and musicians needed for Regatta Row Street Art Festival

BAINBRIDGE – The Jericho Arts Council (JAC) in Bainbridge is looking for artists and musicians to take part in the Regatta Row Street Art Festival on April 27.


The Regatta Row Street Art Festival produced by JAC serves to bring attention to regional artists, musicians, and businesses.


For this year's festival JAC is looking to sponsor 20 juried artists who will create their art on either a newly designed raised garden planter or the hometown classic, Adirondack style canoe paddle chair.

Although the festival takes place from 2 to 4 p.m. on April 27, kicking-off at the Bainbridge Town Hall, the art will be displayed on the sidewalks of Bainbridge throughout the month of May. On May 25, JAC will hold an Art Auction at the General Clinton Canoe Regatta with proceeds going to the arts council to support artists, musicians, and future events.


The JAC is also looking for individuals, or groups of musicians to come help by playing background acoustic music for the street art festival. Each musician or group will be playing near one of the 20 planter and chair exhibits and will be mainly acoustic, though amplification and access to electricity may be granted upon request. Artists and musicians will be provided a modest stipend from the JAC and are encouraged to promote their talent by distributing cards or advertisements.
