Bayou City Art Festival Downtown's "Art on Water" Now Accepting Admissions

Get out your Crayolas, Sharpies, rolls of duct tape, aluminum foil and hangers because the Bayou City Art Festival Downtown's annual "Art on Water" (which is exactly what it sounds like) has begun accepting admissions for October's installment. Here are the pertinent pieces of information you need, lifted graciously from the press release:

"The event, located in Houston’s City Hall Reflection Pool, 901 Bagby between Walker and McKinney Streets in Hermann Square, is the centerpiece of the Bayou City Art Festival Downtown October 10-11, 2009."

"Individuals, groups and students are invited to design original floating, stationary or kinetic art pieces for the water-locked art display. 'Art on Water' is launched October 9 and is up through Sunday, October 11. The pieces are on view to approximately 30,000 art festival patrons."

“Bayou City Art Festival Downtown staff and invited outside jurors will select fifteen pieces for the exhibit. Festival art jurors will award cash honors to the first ($500), second and third place ($250 each) artists on Sunday, October 11. Festival patrons will also select a Patron's Choice award ($250)."

You have until September 18th to get your submissions in (which, if you're anything like me, means you won't get started on yours until about September 16th). More information is available here. Good luck.
