Woodstock Art Cycle contest will be giving $1000 to top 5 submissions.
WOODSTOCK- The Woodstock Art Gallery is looking to bring a touch of beauty to Woodstock's cycling routes.
The project is named Woodstock Art Cycle and Director and Curator Mary Reid is looking to the people of Woodstock for artistic bike rack designs that will be placed on public property throughout the Friendly City.
"We're doing an open call out to all citizens of Woodstock so you don't have to actually be an artist, but if you got a cool idea for a bike rack that you think would be a lot of fun and be able to beautify our city, we're looking for all kinds of designs."
The submitted designs will be reviewed by a jury of Woodstock Art Gallery employees, cycling enthusiasts, and artists to determine the top twenty. Then those designs will be given to the public to vote on the top five. The winning five designs receive a $1000 prize.
Reid also put the invite out to teachers to consider submitting a design as a class. If the class would win they would all get to tour the gallery for free including bussing.
"I hope we see as many people contribute their fantastic designs and that we just inspire creativity, healthy living, and cycling throughout Woodstock"
The project was inspired by similar efforts in other Canadian cities like Barrie and Winnipeg. It was initially planned for 2017 to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary but failed to acquire the funding. Now the project is funded by a benefactor that will be announced once the designs are all submitted.
Designs must be submitted through an online form by October 12th at noon. A template for the bike racks, the submission guidelines, and design specifications and resources for teachers and students can be found here.
