Chadron Open Art is pleased to announce the winners of its first Pumpkin Carving Contest. Community members were invited to decorate or carve pumpkins and bring them to the Chadron Open Art gallery in time for the annual Chadron Trunk or Treat event on Friday, October 27 2023. Trunk or treaters voted for their favorite pumpkins as they toured the
spooky gallery. The votes were tallied and the winners are:
Adult: Blair Brennan
High School: Jada Alcorn
Middle School: Ava Burrows
Elementary School: Aubrey and Avery Thies
Prizes for winners in each category were art supplies to encourage further creative
endeavors. If you are a winner, please pick up your award at Chadron Art, 223 Main Street
Chadron, NE. You may pick it up Monday and Tuesday between 5:00 PM- 7:00 PM.
Chadron Open Art began meeting in May, 2023 with the goal of creating a welcoming and
inclusive space where people of all ages and skill levels can come to learn about, create, and
appreciate art. The group is in the process of incorporating as a non-profit arts organization. The home for Chadron Open Art is located at Chadron Art 223 Main Street in Chadron, formerly TADA studio. The space is shared by a framing business, by TADA where classes are offered, and by Chadron Open Art.
Event organizers want to thank everyone for participating and for visiting. Bringing
community together is at the heart of Chadron Open Art.
