the AppleArt Challenge and try our scavenger hunt!
(PDF, 108k) An overview - The core facts:
The Wachusett Chamber of Commerce and Clinton Hospital Foundation have joined forces to plan AppleArt!, a delicious public art program that will take place in the late summer and fall of 2005. The tasteful pieces of modern art will be on display in public areas in the Wachusett region. These apples will be designed by local artists and sponsored by local businesses. In November of 2005, the dozens of apples will be rounded up for a highly publicized art auction. Proceeds from AppleArt! will be used to fund the initiatives of the Clinton Hospital Foundation, the Wachusett Chamber of Commerce and other local charities. Why apples?
The towns within the Wachusett region have an abundant amount of orchards. Each fall, thousands of visitors travel to this area to pick apples and participate in our many festivals. Apple facts:
