FCA received thirteen resumes from artists wishing to be considered for the project. A special selection committee comprised of local artists and community members narrowed these down to four finalists who were invited to submit proposals. Of these, one declined to participate due to time constraints and another was unable to complete a proposal due to an unexpected medical emergency. Two artists presented proposals. One proposal: Fairlee’s Four Seasons does not meet the submission guidelines in terms of budget or timeline. We share it because we want people to see it. There are some great ideas in it which we might be able to do elsewhere.

We think you will agree that The Green Man and the Snow Sister will enliven the underpass for residents and visitors alike.

Let us know what you think! There’s a feedback form for each proposal.

We invite feedback on both proposals from all Fairlee residents (both seasonal and full-time).
