US museum in awesome art canvas record attempt
Published on: 02-Aug-2007
A museum in the US has launched an audacious art canvas Guinness World Record attempt as part of its special 'What in the World?' celebration.The amazing record attempt took place at the Denver Art Museum, as more than 3,000 eager artists of all ages added their painted input to a colossal canvas art piece which stretched for more than 400 feet.
The basis for the collective canvas art creation was designed by local artist Greg Carr, and his landscape depicted a number of famous Colorado monuments, including the Royal Gorge Bridge, Mesa Verde and Denver's very own Casa Bonita.
"Once it's sewn together, the next step is to have the painting verified by Guinness," Lindsey Housel, from the Museum's education department, told artdaily.com.
"We must have signed statements of authentication by two independent upstanding members of the community."
The special canvas art work took the full course of the weekend to complete - yet that was still not enough time for museum authorities to find a wall space on which to actually hang the mammoth masterpiece!
