Chester Historical Society Issues Artistic Challenge

Press release from

Chester Historical Society

The Chester Historical Society (CHS) has come up with its fifth creative challenge linking Chester history and art. This spring, those accepting the 2015 Hooked Again! Challenge issued by CHS will be working with assorted sample eye hooks, handles, and hardware, still enclosed in small, sealed manila envelopes, from the M.S. Brooks & Sons factory.

As with the Bishop and Watrous Bone Art challenge and the Bates Square Roots challenge offered by CHS in past years, the Hooked Again! challenge is for area artists, sculptors, photographers, engineers, jewelry designers, and all others with a creative mind.

Anyone who wants to take the challenge is invited to stop in at the Chester Gallery at 76 Main Street to pick out three sealed envelopes and pay the entrance fee of $30, which includes two tickets to the event, during which the finished works will be exhibited and sold by silent auction. CHS's Hooked Again! Challenge Reception is on Saturday, April 11 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Chester Meeting House.

For more information, call Sosse Baker at Chester Gallery at 860-526-9822.
