Founder's Day Celebration, 15 March 2008

 

The East Kern Historical Society will be holding a wine and cheese tasting event Iin celebration of Founder's Day this year.  The California City Arts Commission (CCAC) is planning to help with the celebration by decorating the Community Centers main room.  The CCAC will also be hosting the bar and there will be cheese, crackers and other "finger food" available for those who attend the event.  The celebration is from 1 o'clock pm to 5 o'clock pm on March 15, 2008.  The location is the California City Community Center.  The Arts Commission will be tending the bar for this event.  All proceeds from the bar will go to the Arts Commission Community Center Building Renovation fund.  This building is of historical significance to this city and deserves all the help we can give it to bring it back to a decent look.  It is also our future home for the California City  Arts Commission.  I am hoping you will join me in helping out for this event.  Please join us at the CCAC meeting Wednesday, March 12th to discuss this and other topics relevant to the CCAC.

 Art by The Lake 2008 Coming Soon!

 

The California City Arts Commission is currently planning the Spring 2008 Art by The Lake art show, to be held on the weekend of May 3-4, 2008.  The show always generates excitement in the local art community, and receives great reviews by the public. 

 

Artists and artisans are invited to participate again this year, with art media including Oils and pastels, Acrylic and water color, sculpture, photography, mixed media and fabric art (which includes quilting).

 

The show will be held once again at the California City Community Center, now known officially as the California City Arts Center, with views of the beautiful Central Park lake and surroundings to add their magic to the art shown inside. 

 

A copy of the application, and the rules / instructions are provided below.  You can also pick up applications at the Parks and Recreation Office located in the Cal City Community Center.

 

The Arts Commission is looking forward to another successful show this year, and invites your participation. 

 

Our theme for next year is "Visions of the Southwest". "Visions" might include dream-works, spiritual themes of native Americans, jewelry, gourds and pottery, sculpture, landscapes in all media, etc.  Very exciting!

Rules / Instructions to exhibitors –

Art by The Lake

May 3-4, 2008 CCAC Art Show

California City Community Center

10400 Heather Ave.

Calif. City 93505

Deadline for entries: Wed., April 30, 2008, 5:00 pm.

The total number of pieces of artwork regardless of media, is six (6).  There is no entry fee required. Age limit is 17 and up for adults, 6 through 16 for school children.  There is no theme for this year’s open show, although we have selected “Visions of the Southwest” for the 2009 spring show.   Artists must enter their own work (the exception being children, whose parents may make application for them).

Art Media is oils, acrylics, ink, pencil, pastels, mixed media, black and white and color photography, 3-dimensional sculptural works, and fabric/textile art.

Artwork may be sold.  Artists who are selling their work must obtain a one-day business license from the City of California City, at a cost of $10, for each day they offer their work for sale. ( see below for business license application).  If you wish to sell your work, please indicate on a business card the price of the artwork and place in a corner of the frame or attach to the artwork in some manner.  If the piece is not for sale, please indicate NFS in a like manner.  Note:  The CCAC will not represent the artist in any way regarding the sale of artwork.  Sales must be worked out between buyer and the artist, and no work may be removed before the close of the show on Sunday afternoon, May 4th.

Artwork for the “Art by The Lake” exhibit must be delivered and signed in by the artist (or parent/guardian) between 1:00 PM and 5 pm on Friday, May 2nd.  All two-dimensional art work must be framed and ready to hang with the proper hardware.  Artwork will be hung on hooks on pegboard, so wires must be attached to the frame for hanging.  Artists with three-dimensional artwork are expected to bring their own supports for display, if necessary.  Depending on the amount of work received, tables may be available from CCAC, but there are no guarantees. Oversize works of art will be displayed as determined by the CCAC and with space available.  We will do our best to display all artwork.

Artists or a designee must remain with the work during the hours of the show on both days, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, Noon to 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. Arrangements can be made with CCAC personnel one-on-one if artists cannot remain or need to take a break. Artworks will be picked up promptly at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. The CCAC will not be responsible for artwork that is not picked up. Artists will be given a ticket stub with an identification number for each piece displayed. Keep these stubs – they are the security means by which artists are guaranteed that no person can remove work from the show other than the artist who created it.

For more information, please contact Helen Dennis, (760) 373-4570, Toni Todd, (760) 373-9222 or Shelly Hornback, Parks and Recreation Supervisor, (760) 373-3530, Cell phone (760) 559-5768.
