After writing about the Arts Alive Banner Project 2010 in Encinitas (the 11th year) the other day, I had to stop in at the actual unveiling to see it for myself this afternoon.
The 101 banners (get it? The Coast Highway is Route 101) were hanging on the railings, windows and walls of the now-empty Cabo Grill atop the bluff in Leucadia (Encinitas) with terrific ocean views - prime real estate for sure.
The kick-off was at 2 so I arrived early - good thing, since the parking lot was almost full and I walked into the restaurant filled with folks milling around, easily 200+.
The banners were all covered as you can see in the photos, and I caught the actual unveiling on video. Danny Salzhander, President of the 101 Artists'Colony who spearheads this annual fundraising event, was the MC. The speech was short, the countdown began at 5, and 101 banners were simultaneously unveiled to an enthusiastic audience.
Folks can bid on each banner, starting at $150, with all the proceeds being shared 50/50 by the artist and several organizations:
- 101 Artists' Colony in Encinitas
- the Cardiff 101 Chamber of Commerce
- and the Leucadia 101 Mainstreet Association.
The banners will now all be hung along Route 101 on the lamp posts, and the final auction will be held at the Cardiff Town Center in Cardiff on May 23, 2010 at 2:00 PM with Rich Houk, Auctioneer.
You can download the Auction Catalog at Arts Alive Encinitas (2010 edition to be posted soon)
Enjoy the photos and the video!!
