Dear Jane

Thank you for registering for the Placer Artists Tour

OUTSIDE THE BOX: Reimagined 2026-A SPIN ON ART

If you joined us for our LAUNCH PARTY on January 22,* you've selected your vintage album cover and vinyl and are probably planning your unique and creative art piece! You must incorporate your vinyl and/or paper jacket into your (extraordinary!) 2-D or 3D artwork. Each record becomes a one-of-a-kind collectible — a fusion of music history and visual creativity — and will be showcased and sold in a live and silent auction. Proceeds will benefit the Placer Artists Tour and the vibrant creative network it sustains.

The size limitation is: Two-dimensional size not to exceed 24”W x 48”H x 4”D and will be hung on ProPanels.  Three-dimensional pieces on a pedestal size not to exceed 24”W x 24”D x 24”H and three-dimensional pieces sitting on the floor not to exceed 48”W x 48”D x 60”H.

Jurors for the show are: 

• Jenny Darlington-Person is the Executive Director of the Arts Council of Placer County and a development consultant for InConcert Sierra. 
• Deanna Marsh, Principal and Artist at Sculptures Interpreting the Natural Forces of Change,  Glass and Metal Art Sculpture Installations.
• Radio Personality, to be announced.

Vinyl Album construction technique ideas: https://ddock.co/DRRE7S5X8X   https://youtu.be/zmoG6yj_n7M  and YES you can use more vinyl albums than the one you received at the Launch Party.
