2021 Artists on Main Street Information

This year’s Theme was Healthy Community

We were looking for any Artist-led programs that depicted a healthy community as we came out of the pandemic and found inspiration in becoming healthier as a person and community. All artists had to partner with a local organization, business, or city park to place temporary or permanent installations in the downtown Main Street District. This was the third and final year of our Artist on Main Initiative.
