RiverLink
is pleased to present an outstanding line-up of judges for 6th Annual Voices of the River Art and Poetry Contest for K-12 students in the
French Broad River Watershed. Judges this year also happen to include
poet laureate Kathryn Byer and world renown artist Mel Chin. They will be
joined by familiar faces within the community including Cleaster Cotton,
returning RiverLink judge, Jolene Mechanic, of Phil Mechanic Studios, Doc Klein
of the consulting group Uncharted Territories, and Maryanne Pappano, whose
river-inspired work was just recently displayed at Asheville Adventure Rentals.
These talented individuals will volunteer their time, evaluate
artwork and poetry themed around the French Broad River, and
celebrate the participation of the local youth.
On April 13th, 2013 an
awards ceremony and art display will be held at AB Tech's Holly Library to
honor the participants. The art and poetry will remain on display throughout
the month of April.
The contest welcomes 2D
art, 3D art, poetry, and as a brand new category this year, The Fundred Dollar
Bill Project. Fundred is drawing attention to lead-contamination and lead
poisoning that is compromising the health and learning abilities of
children. Everyone is encouraged to create and contribute their own
Fundred Dollar Bill- an original, hand-drawn interpretation of a US $100 bill-
to demonstrate and celebrate the power of human expression making a difference!
