We are looking for youth (Gr. K-12) that are interested in collaborating with the Yellow House to be part of The Assembly Line art project hosted by Ball & Socket during the month of March and April. This project is a co-created large-scale community art collage for and by Cheshire and is led by artist Rashmi. I am looking for young people who are interested in taking pictures around town, and once printed will then help assemble their photographs to add to the community collage.
The project assembly will be on Friday, April 12th 12:00-1:00pm AND April 13th, 3:00-4:00pm at the Yellow House. There will also be other dates to participate if those do not work for you. Here is the link with more information about this amazing project à https://ballandsocket.org/the-assembly-line
If interested in helping to create this art project please add your name to the date or dates you would like to help be part of the assembly process on online registration so I can make sure to contact you with any details.
You must take all photos in Hi-Res and they must all be submitted online by Friday, March 29th.
Photograph submissions may be uploaded on Ball & Socket Arts dedicated page by April 2024. Please read the guidelines below before submitting! Images will not be individually credited to the artist in the final collage.

WHAT PHOTOS SHOULD I SUBMIT?
The selection of photographs used in the collage will be a collaborative effort between the participants, Ball & Socket Arts, and the lead artist.
General guidelines for photographs are as follows:
· Please submit your own photographs that feature primarily Cheshire (any era in time, historic to today).
The photographs should be of houses, buildings, neighborhood landscapes and scenic areas.
· Photographs of local public art are especially encouraged, as are images of the Town Green, Town Hall, libraries, schools, and images of road signs/road names (and manholes). Images of historic buildings, the Farmington Canal Linear Trail, religious sites, and local landmarks are excellent.
· No posed photographs of individuals, prom photos, school photos, vacation photos, or team sports will be accepted.
· Landscape and architectural photographs with figures in the distance, are welcome.
· Participants may take photos using cameras or their cell phones set at high resolution. (Photos will be printed at 8 by 10 inches, so low-resolution photographs will look pixelated)
· Final photo selection rests with the lead artist.
· Images must belong to individuals submitting - their own images or film photos that they scanned. Copyrighted materials will be rejected. Please respect intellectual property.
