Even The Cody Enterprise cartoonist has felt the spirit of bears and painting!(Papa Bear is saying: "They're doing that painted bear thing again. sigh.")
What's new in the project: Four more big bears will be delivered to artists this week, and a person can smell paint and creativity in the air. Jane Kellogg has her glass for her mosaic bear. Her mosaic students have plans for small bears, and there is a veritable run on the paper industry as artists sketch and discard ideas for their projects.
If you want to get in on the act and do a small (9") bear, call the Cody Country Art League, 307-587-3597. It takes a $80 deposit, which the artist gets back if he/she gives us the bear to sell. Anyone who wants to keep their finished product can do so--just forfeit the deposit.
Remember small bear people, we need the small bears back by 1 May if you want your bear entered in juried competition and, potentially, photographed for the festival catalog.
What's the point? All submitted small bears will be juried with the best selected for a silent auction held in conjunction with the big bear auction. Those bears will be on display during the summer months at the Cody Country Art League. Cash prizes will be awarded to the small bears that bring the highest price in the auction.
