“Coastal Waters” – Artist Challenge

Coastal Douglas Arts & Business Alliance (CDABA) is inviting local community members from Reedsport, Gardiner, Winchester Bay, and Scottsburg to submit work for their third annual artist challenge. The theme of this year challenge is “Coastal Waters”.

All types of original craft and art produced from any and all mediums and materials are welcome. The piece must fit through a standard door and be ready for display, including a hanging device if appropriate.

Prizes to be awarded include a Viewer’s Choice, $50; Mayor’s Choice, $50; and $100 for the most original piece that best depicts the theme and includes good design and quality craftsmanship, as determined by a guest judge.  

Entry fee for the first piece is $10 and $5 for each additional piece thereafter. Entries are limited to three per person.

All entries must have a label securely attached in an inconspicuous location that contains the title of the work, the artist’s name, address, and phone number.
