The event will include an open bar, catered hors d’oeuvres, entertainment and a unique opportunity to mix and mingle with artists and community members alike. Proceeds from TRASK, including ticket and art sales, benefit the Spirit of Life & Spencer Trask Memorial Restoration Campaign, a four year effort to restore the Spirit of Life Memorial and surrounding grounds in Congress Park.
The 2013 TRASK Art Show and Sale will be held on Thursday, June 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the Canfield Casino and feature a silent auction of art work by local artists in all mediums. Prior to the auction, one submitted work will be awarded the $500 Best in Show prize by judges Anne Diggory and Erik Laffer, in addition to several honorable mentions and prizes.
Organizers of TRASK are currently seeking submissions from artists for this juried art show. TRASK will showcase artists who, in some way, honor ideas or images of preservation, local history, architecture, landscapes, and culture as well as concepts of philanthropy and generally the “Spirit of Saratoga Springs.” In addition, to celebrate and honor the 150 year anniversary of the Saratoga Race Track, works that highlight and commemorate the importance and influence of horse racing will be included.
