Grayslake Arts Alliance Seeking Artists for New Project
Nov 11, 2019 11:05 AM - The Grayslake Arts Alliance (GAA), in partnership with the Village of Grayslake, seeks an artist or artist team to complete a piece of outdoor public art in honor of Grayslake's 125th Anniversary. A purchase prize of $5,000 will be awarded and the winning entry will be unveiled within the Grayslake Village Center on August 15, 2020. The piece is intended to celebrate Grayslake turning 125 years old. Grayslake has a long history, beginning with the Potawatomi people who called this area home. Early white settlers arrived in the mid-1800s and took up farming. Then, in 1886, the first subdivision called Grays Lake was platted. That same year, Wisconsin Central Railroad arrived. A fledgling downtown began to emerge and the railroad helped fuel growth. On May 9, 1895, voters formally approved the creation of the Village of Grays Lake. The name soon changed to Grayslake and a community was born. A one-room school house became the basis for the first Village Hall. Today, that structure continues to serve the public as the west wing of the Grayslake Heritage Center and Museum. Artists are encouraged to visit the Heritage Center to learn more about Grayslake history as inspiration for their artwork. -
