World-Famous 3d Chalk Artist Anthony Cappetto In Action And Band On The Bricks In Downtown Vineland

On 600 Block of Landis Avenue
Free to the Public
Organized by Main Street Vineland
Sponsorship by the Cultural County Cultural & Heritage Commission

VINELAND, NJ—See world-famous 3D chalk artist Anthony Cappetto create right on the sidewalk and then enjoy an afternoon of great music—all on the 600 block of Landis Avenue in Vineland—on Saturday, October 13.

The event, free and open to the public, is organized by Main Street Vineland, with funding in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State and the Cumberland County Board of Chosen Freeholders through the Cumberland County Cultural and Heritage Commission.

Starting at 10 a.m., Cappetto, of Art for After Hours of Astoria, NY, will create 3D chalk art on the sidewalk in front of Landis MarketPlace, 631 E. Landis Avenue. This presentation, will culminate at 2 p.m. with a dedication of the art work and remarks by the artist.

3D and 4D artwork gives the effect of an addition dimension of depth to a picture, captured by the use of special eyeglasses. Cappetto has created such artwork in sites throughout the United States and abroad and is one of the noted specialists in the genre.

Main Street Vineland Executive Director Russell Swanson is very excited about introducing this renowned artist and this special art form to Vineland and The Ave.

“I believe in the arts and bringing diverse art forms to our area—whether it is music, visual art, dance, or any other genre. The arts bring a community together, crossing lines of cultural diversity. All ages can participate and find common ground when creating or viewing art,” he said.

“3D and 4D sidewalk chalk art is quite different and not seen very often,” he added. “Being able to share this art medium with our community is something of which we are proud. We are grateful to the Cumberland County Cultural & Heritage Commission for approving a grant to make this possible.”

People are urged to stay on The Ave as Bands on the Bricks returns for a second time, between 3 and 6 p.m., in the alleyway on the 600 block of Landis Avenue, between Brinx Jones Brewing Co. and Grant Plaza. In the event of rain, it will be held inside Landis MarketPlace.

Bands on the Bricks features local musicians providing performances from a variety of musical genres.

The band schedule will include:

3-3:30 p.m.—Two Dollar Fun
3:45-4:15 p.m.—Lane Simkins
4:30-6 p.m.— The Originators

“This is an opportunity to come out to The Ave, get some fresh air, and enjoy the sounds of some tremendous musical talent,” said Swanson said. “While you’re downtown, you can visit the many shops that’ll be open and stay for dinner and drinks afterward.”

“The excitement and fun created by these groups exemplifies the kind of spirit that we’re bringing to The Ave with Bands on the Bricks,” said Main Street Vineland Associate Director Robert Scarpa. “This concept has met with success in other cities and towns, and we are looking to bring that success here.”
