Westerville Music & Arts Festival Art Benches

Westerville Music & Arts Festival Art Benches

Bench art requirements

Since 2001, local artists have been providing functional benches to be used during the Westerville Music and Arts Festival, second full weekend in July of each year. Each bench is created to the artist own whims but must be able to seat a minimum of 3 people. The bench may advertise the creating artist or group sponsoring the bench. Create or fabricate a bench that is functional and will support active use during the two day event.

Entry Form informaton

Entry information Due mid June each year, Entry fee: TBA and Donations accepted.

Deliver the bench on Friday, am or make arrangements with Gallery 202, Partners in Art, Inc. to pick up the bench.

Information on the Benches may be placed in the silent auction bid area. A minimum bid amount is set (usually 50% of the price) and set increments are given (i.e.$5). At the end of the two day event, patrons who have bid on the benches are called and asked to pick up their bench. 50% of each bench sold is donated to the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce and the artist receives the remaining 50%. A check will be distributed after the event.

Benches not auctioned off need to be picked up on Sunday evening - best after 6pm or when the artist's have left the area.

This is a fund raiser for the Westerville Chamber of Commerce.
