Mentor Rolls: Public Art Project Call For Artists

Press release from the City of Mentor:

January 20, 2021

Mentor already rocks, but soon it will be rolling too. The city is hosting the Mentor Rolls art contest that will showcase local artists and create unique art.

Lake County artists can apply to decorate, paint, or otherwise adorn one of four aluminum bike racks – transforming each into a distinctive work of art. Selected artists will receive a $600.00 honorarium and a showcase for their talent at the Mentor Civic Center Complex – home of the popular Mentor Rocks summer concert series.

“Mentor Rolls encapsulates so much of what’s important to us. It supports local artists, it’s creative, and it also encourages upcycling and reimagining public spaces. Anything can be art”, said Commission President, Jacqueline Sajewski.

Mentor Rolls is sponsored by the Mentor Community Arts Commission, a group of volunteers who support and promote art in the city.

All artist entries must be received by February 12, 2021.
