Art in Bloom Banner Contest Celebrates 10 years!
The 10th annual Art in BLOOM Banner Design Contest is now underway. The theme for the 2024 artwork is “Imagine That!”. Creativity and imagination will be featured!
There will be so much student artwork to see in 2024! The ART Blooms contest is open to local K-12 students in public, private, and home schools in the Mineral Area. Students are asked to submit an original drawing, painting, or illustration depicting the theme using the official entry form. Artwork submitted by home schools and private schools will be represented in the town nearest their location. More than 300 banners will be on display in 2024 throughout the towns of the Arcadia Valley, Bismarck, Bonne Terre, Caledonia, Desloge, Farmington, Frankclay, Fredericktown, Park Hills, and Potosi. We hope you will travel to each location to view all of the wonderful banners with artwork by our own local K-12 students from April to November.
“This contest is such a special one to our community. We have the opportunity to see so many of our students artwork on display in our towns!” Tiffany Gallaher, Executive Director of MACOA continues in saying, “We know that this year will be bigger and better. It has grown in 10 years to now include 10 towns!”
