"Postcards from the Future"

Creating a Vision for the Future of Grants!

Why this theme?

For a long time, our community vision has been set upon the past. Looking to the "good old days" of the mining industry, the Route 66 Fever, or even returning to the Carrot Capitol of the world. Like most things, we need to move on from our past and grow into our future. That's where "Postcards from the Future" comes in.

Explaining the Theme.

"Postcards from the Future" will encourage artists to transform landscapes, buildings, and streetscapes into a vision of Grants that is aspirational. Rather than focusing on what is behind us; we want to imagine and conceptualize what is ahead of us. Artists are encouraged to reach out throughout the year to enter into the MainStreet artist directory to be notified of upcoming mural opportunities.
