Call for artists for Cobb Sculpture Jam and summer construction workshop

Print
COBB, Calif. — Organizers of the Cobb Sculpture Jam are issuing a call for all artists, budding artists and art enthusiasts living in Lake County to participate in the event and a summer construction workshop.

The Cobb Sculpture Jam event will take place at the Mountain Meadow golf course, Greg Clouse’s “Art by Design” and/or your own studio.

The event will showcase artists in our creative community and be another step toward community identity and economic development for the Cobb area while creating an outdoor museum without walls.

The construction workshop is planned for late July/early August. The community “ Sculpture Jam” will be the weekends of Oct. 14 and 21.

Local experienced artists will coach budding artists to build sculptures using natural or reclaimed materials. It will be similar to other sculpture jams in the Bay Area, such as Sebastopol, Napa and Cloverdale, and similar in theme to the Eco Arts at Middletown Trailside Park.

Finished sculptures will be placed along Highway 175 at key businesses, lit up with solar lights at night and available for purchase.

A map will be posted on www.ExploreCobbCA.com.

Join the construction workshop in planning to learn how to construct various reuse items. Then create sculpture either at your own location or for simpler ideas join the two-weekend Sculpture Jam where lead artists can help you realize your ideas.

Then you will install these on various chosen sites around Cobb Mountain or on Highway 175.
