2022 Chair-Art-Able Project
Open Call: Have a Seat In Our Downtown
MACC is once again sponsoring the chair-art-able public art project in the spring of 2022. The Adirondack chairs, benches, and camp chairs will be available in early March to be painted by local creative people. The purpose of the project is to raise public awareness of local talent, add public seating and walkability to our town and then provide an opportunity to purchase a unique one-of-a-kind piece of functional art. These chairs will adorn our town at various venues for the summer and be auctioned off at RocktoberFest on Saturday, September 24th, 2022. The funds raised will be used to bring additional creative and cultural programs to Morrisville.
General Design Criteria - Have a Seat in Morrisville – 2022 Chair-art-able Project
Creative, whimsical & artistic!
The chairs must be weatherproof and “kid-proof”. The chairs are designed to be interactive with the public. Elements of nature such as rain, wind, sun, and dirt should be kept in mind when designing your chairs.
These chairs will be outside, therefore you should work with the appropriate media and at least two applications of an outdoor clear coat finish must be used to ensure the longevity of the artwork on the chairs.
No direct label advertising or logos (products or companies) are allowed.
No religious or social disrespect is permitted. This is a public display and therefore all finished chairs must be appropriate for all audiences.
Chairs will be available around the first week of March; you will be responsible for picking up your chair at Morristown Town Offices and we ask that you return them no later than Monday, May 9th.
PLEASE paint your name on the underside of the chair.
Painting an Adirondack chair will give you an opportunity to dazzle the public with your creativity and bring your work to the attention of a great many people. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support. Once again we cannot wait to see these beautiful chairs that will fill Morrisville with excitement and create a sense of pride in our community.
