Glens Falls, NY — The Arts District of Glens Falls (ADGF) announces a call for a second round of artists to create public art on three more electrical boxes in downtown Glens Falls. The Arts District, launched in 2015, is a group of 14 organizations working with the City of Glens Falls on a public arts trail as part of the Downtown Revitalization Initiative.
Launched in 2015, the Arts District of Glens Falls was created by the nonprofit arts and cultural organizations of Glens Falls to build a connection between member organizations, attract tourists and residents to arts and culture offerings throughout the City, and engage in public art. This program will enhance the cultural experience of the art-centered district.
Specifications are as follows:
We are seeking artists to paint on electrical boxes. Art proposals must include all sides of the electrical box. Final box assignments will be determined by the ADGF Public Art Committee. Proposals must include the artist’s signature on the proposal as it would appear on the actual electrical box.
