Winner of our Downtown Market's 2021 Art Contest!
Please support by contacting us.
COMMUNITY ART CONTEST
Community fundraising is a core element of Downtown Market's mission. One way we do that is by partnering with local organizations to host art contests between events. Participants are given a theme to inspire their art, which is then judged by the Downtown Market crew. The winning entry is printed on archival-quality paper graphically merged with a piece of history from their home town. They are sold to the public as posters at our multi-cultural events and by contacting us. Thirty percent of the proceeds are donated to the partnering organization or a cause of their choice!
**Posters are available in 18" X 24" ($50), 9" X 12" ($25), and 6" X 8" ($10)**
Contact us to order. **Price does not include shipping.
Our first contest was held in September with Philipsburg Public Schools. Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Kanduch, invited her class to create art that embodies Downtown Market themes of Community, Kindness, and Happiness. Entries from students Brantley and Weston were so impressive the judges had to call a tie!
Philipsburg Public Schools
Downtown Market treated the whole class to a celebratory pizza party with awards and gifts for the winners, all generously donated by local businesses. Best of all, sales from Brantley and Weston's art will fund new art supplies for their school!
Las Vegas Academy - Mariachi Department
Our second contest was supported by the Las Vegas Academy high school classroom of Ms. Carroll. The winning student, Dana, is generously donating her winnings to help support her fellow students to raise money and compete in national competitions for the mariachi department. As all winners are presented with a personal certificate, locally made treats and gifts, Dana is helping a great cause. Please show some love and support for these students by purchasing one of these posters.
Rogue Valley Non-Profits
Thirty percent of proceeds are donated to Rogue Valley nonprofits dedicated to the families' recovery from the Almeda fire. The Third contest was supported by a concerned citizen of Central Point Oregon who chose to help the survivors affected by the Almeda fire through the rogue valley.
Three year old Bowen won the contest and received a personal certificate, and locally made treats and gifts. He also received dueling Nerf guns so he can play with his family and friends! Bowen‘s winning piece is helping support the families affected by the Almeda fire with kindness, support, and community.
Please assist in this great cause to bring humanity closer!
