Rising Star Riders calls for artists

Rising Star Riders (RSR), in conjunction with Tehachapi Arts Center Co-op (TAC) present the inaugural 5x5 art show and sale. The show will take place on May 5, doors opening at 5:55 p.m. All art is sized 5”x5” and will be sold for $55.55!

We are seeking submissions of artwork for an inaugural fundraising event with 100% of the proceeds going to Rising Star Riders, a therapeutic horseback riding program for children and adults with developmental, physical and emotional challenges.

This is planned as an annual fundraising event, providing artists a chance to display their talents, allow supporters to purchase a quality piece of artwork at an affordable price, gives the TAC greater community exposure and offers a chance for a great new Tehachapi tradition!

The 5x5 event is not only opening on a Tehachapi First Friday art evening, but on Cinco de Mayo. Let the fun begin!

In addition to the official 5x5 artwork for sale, art created by the RSR participants and horses will be available for purchase at only $5.55!

TAC will provide participating artists with a 5”x 5” canvas (while supplies last) or artists are welcome to use their own canvas or surface. Canvases are available for pick up beginning March 1 at the TAC.

Deadline for submission: April 29, 2023.

Further details for artists (rules of entry) are posted on the TAC and Rising Star Riders Facebook pages.
