Finalist Artists Selected for River Reflections Arts Project
Amador County, CA...After a month-long Request for Qualifications, 50 artists have been selected to submit work for the next phase of “River Reflections,” a major arts project, funded by the California Arts Council, that will call attention to the Mokelumne River, source of drinking water for 1.4 million people, locally and in the East Bay. The artists listed ....
below, who are from Amador and Calaveras Counties, and the East Bay, will now have until December 5th to deliver their final creations to AmadorArts or Calaveras Arts Council for inclusion in month-long exhibits that will travel to three locations starting in January, 2015.
Artists will submit works which reflect the significance of the Mokelumne River, whether for water, irrigation, power, recreation or beauty. They have been encouraged to push the limits of creativity. “Think outside the river.” To inspire artists in the coming months, complimentary guided river experiences will be provided, including a boat tour of Pardee Reservoir and a Plein Air day at Middle Bar Bridge. Finalists will each receive a $200 stipend, potential cash awards, and the opportunity to sell their works during the exhibits and at the Grand Finale event in May, 2015. The project and its artists will be documented in a video produced by Cole Productions and distributed statewide.
