Main Street Gardnerville looking for artwork

The organization committee of Main Street Gardnerville is inviting local artists to participate in a contest to design the first ornament, in a series of ornaments, for the revitalization program.

The first ornament will be a rendition of Heritage Park in the heart of Gardnerville's Main Street district.

Interested artists should contact Main Street Gardnerville at 782-8027 for more information.

Artwork needs to be submitted to the town offices at 1407 Highway 395 by Sept. 30. A winner will be chosen by the organization committee, and that artist's artwork will be the first ornament in a series of ornaments (winner will need to sign an artwork release form).

The artist's name will be included on the ornament, which will be sold as a fundraiser for the Main Street Gardnerville program.

Main Street Gardnerville is committed to preserving Gardnerville's historic downtown district as the destination place for Gardnerville residents and tourists who want to eat, drink, shop, gather to meet neighbors, and enjoy cultural activities in a hometown atmosphere.

For more information, please contact Paula Lochridge, Main Street Gardnerville program manager at 782-8027 or at plochridge@mainstreetgardnerville.org.
