We want to preserve the towers and allow them to remain in downtown Sudbury as symbols of the city. We think we can show the city that the artistic community appreciates them and doesn’t want to see them destroyed. There are groups of people speaking out on the behalf of towers; we’re hoping the city’s artists can make a visual appeal to the city.
What would the city look like without them? Too often buildings and landmarks are destroyed, only to be looked back upon as great mistakes. We need to stop destroying these old buildings and preserve them to preserve the city’s history. How many great buildings in Sudbury have already been destroyed?

If you love the towers, show us. Photography, illustration, collage, sculpture, painting, animation, digital media, all types of media are accepted as long as they depict the towers (or one tower).
You do not have to be a Sudbury artist to participate. We encourage artists from all over the world to submit their artwork.
Why participate?

Your submission will be featured online and become a part of a collective of artists depicting the towers (along with your name, website, and information about your piece). The ultimate goal of this project is to come together to support the preservation of the towers. We are currently looking into venues to hold a gallery show of the work submitted, for those of you interested in participating in an exhibition.
As the towers are slated for demolition in the Spring of 2010, we need to act quickly. We are looking into holding an exhibition of the work collected in April, 2010.

Thank you for your interest. Please encourage your friends to participate. Any help you can provide spreading the word to other artists is appreciated. Contributors do not have to be professional artists. Elementary and high school students are also encouraged to create work showing their love of the towers. We look forward to seeing your submissions! Start submitting now if you have artwork of the towers.
Visit Save the Sudbury Water Towers for more information, including submission requirements.
Thank you for participating. This will be a fun and hopefully a successful project.
