Concord Downtown Development Corporation Hosting Unique Event

8/29/2016

 
As part of our creative community I want to make you aware of a new event we are launching this fall. The CDDC is hosting a one-day event called Create the Connection – Switch on the Sidewalks, to be held Saturday, October 22 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. We are encouraging artists/inventors/tinkerers to develop an installation that will be placed on the sidewalk in Downtown Concord for that one day. The community will come out and vote on their favorite installation(s) (first vote is free, subsequent votes have a small fee), and cash prizes will be awarded for the top three vote getters. Prizes are $1000, $500, and $250. There is no entry fee, we do need a sketch of what you would intend to install to verify it meets the criteria of this event. Attached is a flyer with the criteria. Even better examples are found at this link. Keep in mind our sidewalks are narrow, smaller installations would be more appropriate, however, building in an interactive component would be terrific.
 
Our goal for this event is to develop ways to activate our sidewalks in a permanent way moving forward. Through this event (will be annual) we can literally test-drive installations, as they will be placed on the sidewalks, and can potentially select some installations to build out in a permanent fashion down the road.
 
Deadling for submitting a sketch is September 15th. Please consider joining us, and do feel free to share this info with fellow creative minds.
 
Thank you!
