Art Mad Artists to participate in Atomic Rooster's annual 'Cock Show' art contest

Stittsville Art Mad Artists at Atomic Rooster’s Cock Show


Stittsville Art Mad Artists are entering the Atomic Rooster Bar & Bistro’s annual “Cock Show” again this year.  The very fact that this downtown Ottawa Restaurant holds the exhibition and competition every year challenges participants to come up with ever new and creative ideas on the rooster theme. The Stittsville-based art group is doubling its entries – and its efforts – in a bid to win, if not a prize, at least some recognition. 


Maggie Madden’s watercolour pencil piece features an imaginary rooster on an old-style delivery bike lording it over his roost of real-live hens, while Patti Morgan has explored the principles of the new art form of Zentangle in the depiction of her rooster. Gerry Chamberlain first painted an “Atomic Rooster” on canvas but was then inspired  to create a 3-D bird in fabric, plaster and wood which will be shown bursting through its chicken-wire enclosure.  A novel idea indeed! 

These creative and fun works of art will be on display in the Cock Show at the Atomic Rooster Bar & Bistro from 21 September through to 26 October 2014.  

The Stittsvile Art Mad Artists group, now in its third year, continues to meet weekly at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street.
