The Beverly Arts District (BAD) Committee seeks submissions from artists to install public art at the Red Fence Gallery. The Gallery is located outdoors on a piece of red fence between Atomic Café (268 Cabot Street) and the Lindsey Building (266 Cabot Street). The fence is approximately 5’ x 4’ and we encourage you to visit it before you submit your application.
The goals of the Red Fence Gallery are to showcase creative talent in a high-traffic area, to add to the public art scene in Beverly and to entertain visitors to downtown Beverly. The Gallery was launched in 2016 and has had 4 installations to date, three of which were paintings done right on the fence and one which was created offsite, framed and hung on the fence.
• A stipend of $300 plus reimbursement for up to $100 in materials cost will be paid after installation
• Installation is from Oct 2017 – April 2018
• Design must incorporate or leave bare details of the fence (color, shape, etc); see examples below
• BAD will promote each installation with a plaque installed on the fence, a ribbon cutting, an opening
reception, and promotion on social media
• Artists agree to install the same artwork that they submit for consideration
• All materials must be able to withstand normal weather conditions
• Artists must leave the fence in the same condition it was when work began
