Main Street artwork winners announced

A new project for the downtown called for new artwork to be submitted by local artists.

This artwork will be displayed in the alleyway behind a Maid-Rite with construction of the new project which will include plants, flowers and bench seating.

Eight pieces of artwork were selected with seven winners (one person submitted multiple with two being selected). The winners were: Joanne Thomason, Mia Van Zante, Pam Krukow, Paula Zickmund, Margaret Caldwell (2), Karen King and Kyra Hauber.

Each winner receives a $50 prize. The artwork has a mid-century modern aesthetic with a 1933-1965 theme. Mid-century modern is a less a uniform style and more a guiding spirit to enhance the lives of people living within those style buildings and by making their lives more convenient and open to allow viewing of the natural surroundings outside their walls.
