Start Your Art Engines!
The theme for the 2010 South Coast Artists Open Studio Tours
The Competition
The Creative Challenge was to interpret this theme in any 2D or 3D media and submit a digital image of the original artwork. Art lovers attending our tours need an engine of sorts to get to our studios! Engines come in all shapes and sizes, motorized or non, many wheels or just one, on boats or trucks and cycles.
Winners of the South Coast Artists “Start Your Art Engines” Juried Art Competition were announced on May 13, 2010. Out of 16 accepted entries, 3 artists were recognized for their “engine themed” work. Artists submitted 2D & 3D engine interpretations in Painting, Sculpture, Mixed Media and Assemblage. The annual competition focuses on creating a unique annual tour theme for the South Coast Artists open studio tours.
Winning Artwork is featured on the SCA Open Studio Tour Brochure/Maps and more. The 2010 Tours, coming up on July 17/18 and Aug 21/22, showcase the works of South Coast Artists who live and work in Dartmouth and Westport, MA and Tiverton and Little Compton, RI.
