Call for Art: Chair Show II @ Nine Pin Cider!

UPDATE: All of the chairs have been claimed.  Thank you for your interest!

Albany Barn & Nine Pin Cider are seeking artists to participate in The Chair Show, a collaborative mixed media art exhibition.

Long before Albany Barn moved into 56 Second Street, the historic building was a school known as St. Joseph’s Academy. Much like the interior of St. Joseph’s was transformed into The Barn, artists are encouraged to use a wide variety of mediums (including paint, sculpture, and mixed media) to transform the vintage wooden school desks, remnants from St. Joseph’s previous life as a school, into unique works of art.

The Chair Show exhibition will be on display at Nine Pin Cider in conjunction with Albany’s First Friday on Friday, April 5^th through Sunday April 7^th, 2019. 

Please review the submission guidelines below and contact casey@albanybarn.org with questions.

• Artists interested in participating must email casey@albanybarn.org and include a proposal of the design idea and 1-3 photos of work samples representative of the proposal.
• Chairs must be picked up by the artists at the Albany Barn (56 Second Street, Albany). Pick-up is available on the following dates: February 4^th-9^th & 11^th-15^th  (call 518-935-4858 to confirm pick-up time).
• Finished chairs are to be returned to The Barn for transport to Nine Pin for the exhibition no later than Saturday, March 30^th.
• All chairs will be auctioned off with a starting bid of $50, with 75% of the final sale price paid out to the artist and 25% paid out to The Barn to benefit youth programming.

All participating artists are strongly encouraged to attend the opening exhibition on Friday, April 5^th, where the tasting room hours are 4pm-11pm.
