Main Street Banner Project
Northampton, MA — The Northampton Center for the Arts (NCFA) is thrilled to announce the inaugural Main Street Banner Project, a unique opportunity for artists of all ages and experience levels to showcase their work in the heart of downtown Northampton. We invite local talent to submit their creative images for this exciting community initiative.
This project is a fundraiser for the Barn Door Gallery at 33 Hawley, helping us fulfill our mission of supporting the local creative community. Submissions will be accepted through April 25, 2025 along with a donation of $5-$50 per submission (multiple submissions welcomed). A total of 50 images will be chosen for display on 25 vibrant banners along Main Street in Northampton this summer. Finalists will be selected by a jury that seeks a well-rounded selection of works representing a diversity of mediums and experiences. This is a fantastic opportunity to enhance our community’s beauty and gain visibility as your artwork celebrates the spirit of our town!
The Main Street Banner Project is made possible through the generous support and vision of Craig Stevens of LandScapes inc, a dedicated design/build landscape company working in Western Mass for the past 25 years. Craig has been a steadfast supporter of NCFA and our community, working with local residents and recovery clients to build sustainable landscaping projects. His contributions also include the collaboration with colleagues that donated the large River Birch downtown pots, support for Habitat for Humanity and Hairston Recovery House, and organizing community events throughout Northampton, including a free movie night at the Academy. Financial support for the Main Street Banner Project is being provided by LandScapes and Paradise Copies, which provides full-service printing and design solutions for our community.
We encourage everyone to take part in this vibrant project that celebrates creativity and community spirit. For more information and to apply, please visit our website: https://www.nohoarts.org/main-street-banner-project
Let’s come together to make downtown Northampton more beautiful than ever!
