THURSDAY, JULY 11, 2019 // 13 Regatta Festival seeks artist proposals for new monument ASTORIA – The Asto- ria Regatta Festival is accepting proposals from artists for a public water- front monument. Propos- als are due by 5 p.m. Fri- day, Aug. 2. A budget of $20,000 has been estab- lished for the project. Work from up to fi ve fi nalists will be on display at this summer’s Regatta Festival, which runs Aug. 7-10, and a fi nal design will be selected this fall. The festival, which is celebrating its 125th anni- versary this year, has part- nered with Astoria Visual Arts to create a jury of panelists to review pro- posals. The jury will con- sider public feedback from the festival before making a fi nal decision in the fall. According to board member Kevin Leahy, the art piece will optimally sit either on a west-fac- ing pier or along the river walk. Dining Out “Heavy winter rain and winds must be taken into consideration for the win- ning design,” Leahy said. Submissions will be judged on artistic qual- ity, aesthetic sensibility related to Astoria, tech- nical ability, the artist’s experiences and the pro- cess outlined by the artist to complete the project.
