2010 Artscape Banners in Winchester
This morning, the Old Town Development Board (OTDB) and the Shenandoah Arts Council (SAC) unveiled the ArtScape in Old Town Winchester banner project at a Press Conference on the Old Town Mall.
A community-building project created by volunteers of the OTDB and the SAC and presented by the generous support of Winchester community businesses, ArtScape in Old Town Winchester will add interest and color to the downtown streetscape with 30 art banners. Showcasing locally created art provides a unique twist on an outdoor gallery experience. The banners, painted by local talent, will be hung tomorrow (4/22) and will grace the decorative light poles through December 2010.
On June 26, the original art work will be sold at the Old Town Event Center (time TBD). For more information about the Artscape project, please contact Old Town Development at 722-7575. For a list of contributing artists, artwork titles and sponsors, please click here.

It is with great pleasure that I submit my comments. As a selected artist in this year’s banner project I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful community based project and among such talented individuals. To all of the sponsors, the SAC, Full Frame Photography and the OTDB, I say thank you.
Sincerely,
Otis Stanley
