Newspaper Box Challenge

Weekly Volcano was gifted a storage unit full of newspaper boxes in need of clean up and rebrand – that’s when the local art community graciously stepped up to lend their talents to make each of them into a one-of-a-kind piece of art! After a public art show art Art on the Ave, and a month long exhibit at Court House Square, these boxes will be placed inside trusted local businesses along our distribution route to be enjoyed by the public for years to come!

You can help support Weekly Volcano by voting for your favorite boxes with dollars. Even voting with one dollar counts toward our goal to keep printing this beloved local paper every week. Also each artist will receive 50% of the net proceeds for the box they painted. This is a win for the community, a win for the artists and a win for Weekly Volcano!

The boxes that raise the most money will win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place prizes. Winners will be announced at the Artist Reception on August 21st in the ballroom at court House Square.

To see photos of the boxes, click the links under the artists names. You can also see them in person in the lobby at Court House Square until August 21st.
