Reimagining of Art in the Park Event Hosted by the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce
OLEAN - Art in the Quad, a reimagining of the former Art in the Park event that was hosted by the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, is making a return.
Sponsored by SUNY Jamestown Community College and the Tri-County Arts Council, Art in the Quad is scheduled for Saturday, October 19th outdoors on the downtown Olean JCC Cattaraugus County Campus lawn. The event features a juried fine arts show with a long-standing tradition of showcasing the finest art in southwestern New York and northwestern Pennsylvania. Art in the Quad is free to attend and open to the public.
“We're bringing back a community event that used to be popular and was previously hosted on campus,” said Amanda Hulbert, a success navigator and admissions coordinator at JCC who is also active in the local arts community.
A $15 jury fee is required for those wishing to participate in the juried competition. Cost for student artists wishing to exhibit their work is $25 and $100 for professionals. Visit tricountyartscouncil.org/shop/juried-artist-links/art-in-the-quad-juried-competition to register. “Because we're going to be featuring student artists as well as local artists, students will be offered a discount for their exhibits,” Hulbert added.
Food vendors and musical acts are being sought for the event. Those interested in participating are asked to contact Hulbert at 716-376-7563 or AmandaHulbert@mail.sunyjcc.edu.
