Artists invited to imagine the future of downtown for City Hall exhibit
The City of Bellingham is seeking submissions for a temporary two-dimensional art show highlighting downtown Bellingham as imagined in the future.
In conjunction with the downtown planning effort that is currently underway, the Bellingham Arts Commission is seeking paintings, drawings, illustrations, renderings, manipulated photographs, two-dimensional collage, or any other two-dimensional art form depicting an imagined downtown. The intent of the show is to assist the community in picturing what downtown -- everybody's neighborhood -- could look like when human ingenuity, creativity and imagination are unrestrained.
This exhibit will be displayed in Bellingham City Hall. The arts commission encourages artists to take advantage of this opportunity to show their work in this highly visible location. All works will be on display for a period of four months: January through April, 2013. Depending upon volume of submissions, additional shows may be offered.
Whatcom County artists are encouraged to apply. Deadline for submissions is 5 p.m., November 21, 2012.
