Main Street Bath announces 2015 ‘Banners Over Bath’ arts event

Mon, 03/23/2015 - 10:45am

    Main Street Bath is looking for accomplished and aspiring artists, creative students, and community friends to create their own personalized banners to be displayed during the 11th Banners Over Bath outdoor arts event. This year’s theme is “Vintage Bath.” Banners should celebrate all aspects of Bath’s history.

    Help bring some color to downtown Bath at the end of this very long winter! Prepared canvases are now available at the Main Street Bath office in the Bath Train Station at 15 Commercial Street. Blank canvases are $20/$15 for nonprofits.

    Banners should be completed by April 13. The banners will be hung from the lampposts in downtown Bath until the beginning of June. Artists may paint, sew or add to the canvas in any way so long as the banner can be hung from a lamppost and withstand a variety of spring weather.

    Banners Over Bath is also looking for sponsors to support student artists who need help with the $20 fee. For more information or to get involved, contact Carolyn Lockwood at 207-442-7291 or www.visitbath.com.
