We were thrilled to sponsor a recent art contest held at The St. Croix Welcome Center, where creativity and passion truly took center stage! Over 20 talented artists came together to showcase their incredible work, making the event a vibrant celebration of local art.

A special congratulations to Eliana L. Schuster-Brown, whose stunning painting, "Freedom," earned her the $500, sponsored prize (Pictured below.) Her piece captivated everyone with its powerful expression and artistry.

If you had a chance to visit the Welcome Center, we hope you enjoyed the amazing submissions and felt the creative energy of the event. Supporting local artists is something we’re deeply passionate about, and we’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to celebrate their talent! 🎨✨
