Greendale Public Celebrations Committee announces the 75th Anniversary Art Contest
January 24, 2012 | 05:46 PM
The Art Contest to select the official artwork for the Village of Greendale’s 75th Anniversary is under way. The theme of the contest is ‘Spirit of 75’ and the contest is being hosted by the Greendale Library and Library Director Gary Warren Niebuhr. The competing artwork will be displayed in the Library from June until August, 2012. The judging will be conducted by well-known art professionals, and the contest is open to anyone.
The winner of the ‘Spirit of 75’ contest will receive a prize of $500, the artwork becomes the sole property of the Village of Greendale, and the artist agrees to sign and number 300 copies. These 300 copies will be sold for $25 each to raise funds for the 75th Anniversary events, except for numbers 1 thru 10 and 75 which will be auctioned off at Village Days 2012. This Art Contest is similar to the one held in 1988 for the 50th Anniversary and the prints are still on display in homes and offices to this day. This summer the 75th Anniversary ‘Spirit of 75’ contest winner can be purchased as a companion piece.
