The Frankfort Community Public Library will host a workshop at The Edge for the Raices Festival’s Exploring Latin America Art Contest on Tuesday, Aug. 13 for community members to enter their creative masterpieces for a chance to win a monetary prize.
The workshop will kick off on Tuesday, Aug. 13 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. to help prepare community members for their submission into the contest as the deadline approaches on Sept. 11 at 3 p.m.
This year’s theme highlights the idea of “Exploring Latin America” where middle school students in all of Clinton County will be tasked to create an art piece that showcases a Latin American experience.
The art pieces must be on paper no bigger than 13 x 19, and a first through third-place winner will be chosen for each grade. The first place prize stands at $75 with a second place prize of $50 and a third place prize of $25. Prizes will be awarded during the Raices Festival on Sept. 21 at Prairie Creek Park in Frankfort.
Submissions of the art piece may be submitted to an art teacher or Esmeralda Cruz at the Purdue Extension Office at 1111 S. Jackson St. in Frankfort.
