Call for Artists--Antioch Chamber of Commerce Dogs on the Chain (of Lakes)!
In 1999 there was Chicago’s COWS ON PARADE, in 2010 Antioch welcomes DOGS ON THE CHAIN!
Get Ready to Join the Fun! Antioch’s DOGS ON THE CHAIN (of Lakes) is a community art project designed to delight animal and art enthusiasts of all ages.
DOGS ON THE CHAIN will transform Antioch into a dog walking paradise, whether you have a dog or just enjoy dogs. This brings together our local artists and our business community with the creation of life-sized, hand-painted fiberglass dogs that will find a home throughout Antioch’s Business Community, both in the Downtown and around the Chain of Lakes.
CALL FOR ARTISTS: Showcase your artistic talents and participate in the promotional opportunities our artists will enjoy during DOGS ON THE CHAIN. This event is open to the artistic community, including painters, photographers, fiber artists and new media artists. Visit the Antioch Chamber website for more information.
