Seeking Artists for 'Beauty from Ashes' - A November Carr Fire Art Show
Daniel Bigelow, Local Film Photographer hanging his Art Show for the month of September
We have a monthly art rotation at Heritage Roasting Co that typically features one artist or many artists of similar mediums. Due to the recent fires in our region we are dedicating the month of November to continue sharing the needs of those affected by the Carr Fire, through art!
We will be accepting Art Submissions until Thursday, November 1st, 2018. The art will then be on display starting Saturday, November 3rd, until Saturday, December 1st. We will have two categories of art: Fine Art and Photography. Fine Art will be on display in our Main Cafe Space and Photography will be on display Upstairs.
Beyond supporting local art culture and raising money for those affected by the Carr Fire we desire to see this Art Show act as a way for people to process the devastating events that recently took place in our region. We're encouraging Artists to remember hope is still alive and there will be Beauty From Ashes. Through the visual power of art, we can offer the same hope to guests as they view each piece and read each story.
Art Competition
Throughout November, guests will be encouraged to vote on their favorite pieces - votes will cost a $1 each. 50% of the proceeds will go to the winning artists (One Winner for Each Category) and 50% of the proceeds will go to those affected by the Carr Fire. The winners of the Art Competition will be announced at 5PM on Saturday, December 1st.
Artist, Hannah Townley, standing with the Tim Lee, the winner of this piece, 'Safe to Shore', painted with coffee. He won it through a Silent Auction held at Heritage Roasting Co.
Silent Auction
Each artist entering the 'Beauty from Ashes' Art Show is agreeing to participate in our Month-Long Silent Auction. The minimum bid determined by each artist will go straight back to the Artist to cover time and materials. Every bid increase thereafter will be split 50/50, just as the voting is split 50/50. Each Artist will be raising money for a different family, group, or organization that was affected by the Carr Fire of their choosing. Accompanying each piece will be a statement from the artists on how their piece was inspired by the Carr Fire and where the money raised from their piece is going. The Auction closes at 5PM on Saturday, December 1st.
Other Activities
We are planning many more activities during the month of November in accordance with the 'Beauty from Ashes' Carr Fire Art Show. If you would like to be a part of planning this event or would like to participate in other activities associated with this event, join our Shasta Lake Creative Community Facebook Group!
Are you interested?
We understand Artists will need some time to create their piece after learning about this upcoming Art Show. This Art Submission Form is simply to get in contact with interested Artists, who we will then follow up with for official submission as we draw closer to November 1st - the last day we are accepting Art Submissions.

Beautiful Art Piece done by Madeline Grace, who showed her Art back in June of 2018 - we feel this piece, 'Death to Life' foretold the hope we would hold onto during this difficult time.
