BATH

Main Street Bath is looking for accomplished and aspiring artists, creative students, and community friends to create their own personalized banners to be displayed during the 11th annual “Banners Over Bath” outdoor arts event.

This year’s theme is “Vintage Bath.” Banners should celebrate all aspects of Bath’s history.

Help bring some color to downtown Bath at the end of a long winter. Prepared canvases are now available at the Main Street Bath office in the Bath Train Station at 15 Commercial St. Come pick up your blank canvas for an entry fee of $20, with proceeds to benefit nonprofits.

Banners should be completed by April 13. The banners will be hung from the lampposts in downtown Bath until the beginning of June. Artists may paint, sew or add to the canvas in any way so long as the banner can be hung from a lamppost and withstand a variety of spring weather.

Banners Over Bath is also looking for sponsors to support student artists who need help with the $20 fee. Banners Over Bath is organized by Main Street Bath, Inc. whose mission is dedicated to preserving and promoting Downtown Bath.
