Chestertown RiverArts is excited to announce our quirky, anything goes, free-standing and free sculpture competition that will be at our 10th anniversary celebration, !magine, on Sunday, September 11 from 1:00-6:00. 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. Sculptures can be set up between 11:00 and 1:00 on the day of the festival. Festival goers will vote for the “People’s Choice” with an announcement of the winner at 5:00.
