ART OF THE GAME TO ANNOUNCE SCULPTURE WINNERS

 

Pittsfield, MA. On Monday, April 3 at 6:30pm in the auditorium of The Berkshire Athenaeum, located at 1 Wendell Avenue in Pittsfield, the Art Of The Game committee will announce, and introduce, the 18 winners of the 3-D Sculpture project, part of this summer’s city-wide art and baseball celebration.

 

 The party will allow the chosen artists to meet the public and discuss their work which will be on display. Also to be seen for the first time will be many of the designs submitted by various schools and youth groups for the baseball glove project. One hundred of these creatively decorated figures will be put on display in Pittsfield, and around the county, opening simultaneously with the 20 installations provided by the chosen artists.

 

 In addition, the Co-Chairs of Art Of The Game will announce the parameters for the sculpture competition for a 1791 memorial statue to be erected in Pittsfield 2007. This competition will include a nationwide call for artists. The 1791 statue project, which completes the Art Of The Game’s current outlook for the two year undertaking, is estimated to cost nearly $200,000.

 

 Refreshments will be served, all with a baseball motif. The public is invited to attend and the wearing of baseball uniforms - Little League or Major League - are encouraged for this event. For more information consult the Art Of The Game website at www.artgamepittsfield.org or call 413-443-6501.
