Rice Lake was the first Main Street community in Wisconsin to initiate an art
banner program. Originally, brainstorming over coffee resulted in a list of 50 potential
artists who were invited to a presentation of the vision for ArtScape on
Main. Twelve people showed up and every single one signed on that night.
They must have been excited and talked to their friends. By the next morning
additional artists were calling or showing up at the Main Street office
wondering if they, too, could paint a banner. The artists range from fifth
grade to retirement age and represent all walks of life. The cooperation,
talent and generosity of the artists is amazing!
The Rice Lake Main Street Association will sell the banners at the end of
the season and repeat the process each year to bring new artwork to Downtown
Rice Lake. If you are interested in more information please contact the
Rice Lake Main Street Association at 715-234-5117.
