We invite you to celebrate the original artwork selected for ArtScape Jamestown, 2023. Join us on June 16 from 5-7:30 pm for an opening reception at Chautauqua Art Gallery.

The Jamestown Renaissance Corporation is partnering with Chautauqua Art Gallery and the City of Jamestown Park's Department to create an outdoor public art gallery in downtown Jamestown, N.Y. Artists of all ages are invited to participate in this juried art competition.

ArtScape aims to represent a diverse group of regional artists from all walks of life. Selected works will be reproduced on banners to hang on light posts throughout the downtown area. Chautauqua Art Gallery, on Main Street in Downtown Jamestown, supports this program as the host sponsor, displaying the original works of art and coordinating artists and banner production.

ArtScape will create an outdoor gallery experience in the heart of the community. The colorful banners add interest and intrigue to the downtown streetscape, encouraging pedestrians and vehicle traffic to slow down and enjoy the display. Each banner showcases local artists, highlighting the creativity and talent of artists who live and work in the region.
