The Canal Street Scarecrow Contest is here, and The HUB Arts Collective’s Scare Team has brought Rachel Buzz to life! Find her outside The HUB Arts Collective at 132 Canal Street.
Meet Rachel Buzz, created through the teamwork of our amazing volunteers, staff, and local artists. From her custom ceramic mask by Julie Kessler to her painted overalls, artist-inspired details, and signature crow from Jane’s Art Center, Rachel is a true team effort!
Here’s how to participate:
October 9–12: Official judging based on creativity, craftsmanship, seasonal spirit, and visual impact.
October 9–14: Vote for your favorite scarecrow! Ballot boxes are available at Victoria Meeting Center, Yellow Dog Eats, Crimson House, and Cafe del Soul.
October 15 at 7 PM: Join us during Canal Street Nights in front of Wirth Gallery as we announce the winners!
Come downtown, explore the scarecrows, support our local businesses and artists, and cast your vote. We can’t wait to see who takes home the win!
