Cheese Box - Call for Artists - What do you expect...it IS Wisconsin ya know!


Our town has an annual event called Jazz in the Park, and the city's Friends of the Visual & Performing Arts is having an art auction during the event. The last two years they had artists decorate park benches and then they auctioned them. This year there are 16" diameter x 13" high round wooden veneer cheese boxes to decorate, alter, paint, or whatever one wants to do to it.. there is no category we have to follow, we can think outside the box (pun intended)..or even inside the box.

So, I decided to try my hand at decorating, or altering one... This is the box prior to any work... I have about 5 weeks to complete it and give it back, and then on June 7th it will be auctioned off and the money will go to help the Friends of Visual & Performing Arts and the Jazz in the Park event.

Should be fun... and interesting to see all the others too!

EDITED POST: Check out my May 9th blog post for the finished cheese boxes I did!
