Art Center East announces contest for aspiring artists
Go! staff
L
A GRANDE — In celebration of Art
Center East’s 45th anniversary this
year, the organization has launched an
annual Aspiring Artist Contest.
Each year in March, all aspiring artists
ages 16 to 22 in ACE’s 10-county service
area will be invited to submit designs
for an ACE iron-on patch. The contest is
open to residents of Baker, Gilliam, Grant,
Harney, Malheur, Morrow, Wheeler, Uma-
tilla, Union and Wallowa counties.
The winning design will become the
year’s featured patch and the artist will
receive an award. This year, designs
must be submitted to ACE by Thursday,
March 31. The winner will be announced
April 1 at 5 p.m. on ACE’s online and
social media platforms.
The iron-on patch will be sold in the
ACE Gift Gallery at the art center, 1006
Penn Ave., and online. All proceeds from
the patches will go toward ACE’s Youth
Scholarship Fund. This fund provides
youth up to 18 years of age with reduced-
cost (50% off ) classes and opportunities
to engage in arts of all kinds (take-home
art kits, music ensembles, etc.).
According to a press release, “Art Cen-
ter East passionately supports youth art-
ists and believes that fostering a love of the
arts helps give youth not only creative joy
but also the confi dence and skills to invest
back into their communities in the future.”
