A City of Expression 2010 Holiday Festival of Lighthouses
After almost 20 years, the arts organization A City of Expression (ACOE) is reforming to sponsor the ACOE 2010 Holiday Festival of Lighthouses, a sculpture project to honor Art with a Heart, the organization that brings art to young Wolfson Children’s Hospital patients.
This festival hopes to be displayed in the Main Library in Jacksonville, FL. Sculptures will be bid on throughout the festival and then auctioned starting at the highest bid to raise funds for the Wolfson Children’s Hospital and sculpture artists (half funds raised to the artist and half to Wolfson Children’s Hospital to use as needed). Dates hoped for are Monday, November 15, 2010 to Monday, January 3, 2011.
Then the art will be split into smaller groups and travel the greater Jacksonville area (Brunswick to Gainesville) in rotation for a few months until everyone has a chance to see and bid on each lighthouse. An auction will occur after biddings close at noon on Friday April Fool’s Day (April 1, 2011), when master auctioneer Boyce Allen Brasington III from Asheville gets some hands up in the air to raise some serious dollars.
Greater Jacksonville sculptors are asked to participate with as many 10’ tall lighthouse interpretations as possible to be part of a forest of sculptures. Local sculptors are asked to seek funding for their lighthouses from their favorite hangouts. It is probable that businesses would be honored to help with this fundraiser. Lighthouses should be 10’ tall and constructed very durable in two or more parts pieced together so breakdown and reassembly are easy. Some typical lighthouses are expected, but it’s the sculptor’s interpretations that will make this interesting. Alien-looking lighthouses are welcomed.
A City of Expression was formed in the early 1990s and sponsored iD Magazine as well as numerous arts events in Jacksonville’s arts district. Two Explosion of the Arts street festivals, several music festivals, and even a sidewalk chalk art fest for children were sponsored. The group was successful and disbanded for an unknown reason in 1992, as quickly as ACOE formed.
The rebirth of ACOE has been planned for a very long time and if things go as hoped, there will be the formation of a global arts culture that is totally organized to fight for world unity and world peace.
Please befriend and contact us from sites (www.idmagazinejax.com and www.idmagazine.cc) or on Facebook and MySpace to join the efforts of A City of Expression. Main ACOE contact: Mark Gebhardt, iD Arts Magazine Jacksonville Publisher, id2002@comcast.net.
