ARTIST PACKET and APPLICATION
Attention all Artists…….
You’ve seen the Horses in Saratoga and maybe the Moose in Bennington, now Canal Mules are coming back to Waterford, New York.
The deadline for artist submissions has been extended to January 10th.
Not seen in Waterford since the old canal was shut down, the Canal Mules are making a comeback. Waterford Museum’s Canal Mule Parade will offer events and promotions from May 2014-October 2014 throughout Waterford and the surrounding area. Patrons & Artists will be promoted in print, on the web, at events & in the streets!!
Canal Mule Parade is a fundraiser for the Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center, a promotion of Waterford and part of a year long celebration of the Museum’s 50th Anniversary.
