GLENS FALLS — The Arts District of Glens Falls plans to unveil the latest installment of public art during the Glens Falls Collaborative’s Wing Fest, held from noon to 3 p.m. on April 30 in Downtown Glens Falls. The unveiling ceremony with remarks by the artist, sponsor, and the Arts District will be held at 1 p.m.
The installation is an oversized photo-op Adirondack chair, created by Adirondack Folk School, painted by artist Anthony Richichi, and sponsored by Michael and Kathy Clarke. It will be placed on the sidewalk outside of Barton Mines, near the roundabout in downtown Glens Falls.
“My hometown has always supported me over the years,” Richichi said, in a statement. “I hope it inspires everyone who visits Glens Falls to be creative, and especially the ones who live here. The Arts are a very big part of what makes this community special and I’m very proud to be a part of that.”
Richichi recently published a children’s book called COLORWORLD, the latest in more than 30 books featuring his art. His artwork is featured in three feature-length films with award-winning directors, and his freelance clients include Marvel, 20th Century Fox, and Hall of Fame rock band Kiss. His website is www.tonykillustrator.com.
