If you enjoy painting, photography, or even just doodling, the Deschutes Public Library is looking for your help.
The library announced Thursday it is seeking entries for an art design contest for the cover of its printed bi-monthly events guide.
“Central Oregon attracts a wide range of creative talent and shares a strong sense of community,” says Community Relations Manager Chantal Strobel. “From doodlers to graphic artists, the Library aims to feature local creatives for a chance to have their artwork front-and-center on our Events guide, circulated to more than 30,000 residents.”
The events guide is distributed at all library locations across Deschutes County and appears as an insert in local newspapers.
The April/May 2022 issue will mark the return of the printed guide, which features more than 200 library programs.
“In addition to having their design come to life, winners will also receive some great library swag,” says Strobel. “The Library’s Events guide is our go-to resource featuring programs and events for all people in Deschutes County.”
To enter, you can email your high-resolution artwork to newsletter@deschuteslibrary.org or use the template online to create your design, which you can drop off at any library locations. =
