Gulf Coast Community Foundation Art Competition

I am currently working on a piece for Hope Haven for this competition - the finished piece will be submitted next week. There is a portion of the competition where the public gets to vote on the pieces. All the funds from this competition are going to the non profits. I hope you will check back and vote for Hope Haven's entry.

Details:

As the Gulf Coast Community Foundation celebrates its 25th anniversary and embarks on its annual Friends of the Foundation campaign, we are sponsoring in a coastal beautification contest. Nonprofit and community groups, local businesses and artists will be challenged to create a visual representation of how they “Leave their Mark” in our community. The canvas of choice: 55 gallon barrels that will ultimately be used as trash receptacles on beaches and parks across Harrison County. These trash barrels will be serve as a colorful, visual reminder of how non-profit and community groups are making a difference in South Mississippi and also encourage people to keep our coast clean by properly disposing of trash.
