Aspiring and professional fine artists from the Hudson Valley are invited to participate in the second Annual Celebration of the Arts (COTA) at Hasbrouck Park in New Paltz on Saturday, September 27, 2008, from 10 am – 5 pm (rain date September 28).  COTA is a day where professional artists pay it forward and create community by nurturing those just beginning their journey. Last year COTA was fortunate to have George Quasha present his “Art Is” installation. While he is a renowned artist and writer, and has been awarded Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, he was extremely open to the other artists and actually ended up connecting one of our COTA artists with a professional writer within the art world. His participation truly exemplifies one of our core missions and that is to bring artists of mixed-skill levels and disciplines together. Fine artist’s space is $35.00. Tables and tents are not included. Tables, chairs, and panels for hanging are available for an extra charge (see the downloadable form above). A photo of a sample piece of art work and the COTA Fine Artist form must be completed and returned to the Fine Artist Coordinator by the deadline. Artists are also encouraged to donate something to the silent action. Groups of individuals may share a booth. The proceeds after production costs will be donated to The Arts Community.
