Groundwork Hudson Valley
And
The Science Barge
Present:
Second Annual Floating Sculpture Exhibition
June 12th – 13th, 2010
Drawing upon our 2009 success, we are repeating our floating water sculpture exhibition. Groundwork Hudson Valley is seeking artists to create floatable art to be installed in a semi-sheltered section of the river adjacent our Science Barge.
Our water sculpture celebration is a two day event building upon our work in this community. The event begins on Saturday morning with the installation. The event continues later that day with a reception for the artists and music, and an opportunity for the judges to review the art. There are also boxes for the guests to vote on their favorite art. All Saturday and Sunday the sculptures will be available for viewing by the general public.
The site of the installation is the Hudson River in an area between the Science Barge and the shore. The Science Barge is moored 35’ off shore. There is a beautiful little park onshore along side a brick path with benches. The park sits at the confluence of the Saw Mill River and the Hudson River. Combined with the majestic Palisades in the distance framed by the George Washington and Tappan Zee Bridges, make this an especially beautiful site.
The Science Barge, its gangway, and the shore side park makes it possible for the sculptures to be viewed easily from all sides. The sculptures will be judged for artistic merit and creativity by a panel of judges and by a “people’s choice” ballot and recognition awards will be given. Please see the attached rules for further information. It is important that each submission carefully follow these guidelines.
We hope you’ll join in the celebration of the river by providing your artistic talent. By bringing people down to the Hudson River you help raise awareness as to the plight of this majestic and important body of water.
I’ve been creating floatable sculptures for some 30 years (in wood, styrofoam), exhibited at shows in Ossining, Pleasntville, White Plains, Tarrytown, Montrose VA, and presently at Fordham U. in W. Harrison.
I’d like to have all the submission requirements for your Second Annual Exhibition. My addfress is 50 White St, Tarrytown NY
