Executive Summary
The purpose of this agenda item is to formally recognize Kamryn Brecheisen as the winner of the Town of Castle Rock’s 2025 Holiday Card Art Contest and present the final cards to Town Council (Attachment A).
This fall, the Public Art Commission partnered with the Communications Division to seek submissions of artworks for the contest from local middle- and high-school aged students. From August through early October, 26 students provided artworks for consideration. A selection committee, consisting of the commission and Town staff, juried and selected Kamryn’s art titled, “Winter Nights of Castle Rock,” as the winner.
The art will be featured on the Town’s holiday card and website, and also enlarged and placed on display at the Recreation Center, Miller Activity Complex and Cantril School throughout the holiday season. The holiday cards will be available for the public to purchase at the front desks of these facilities in packs of ten for $10, while supplies last. Kamryn will also receive a $100 gift card and her own set of 50 cards.
The Town of Castle Rock’s Public Art Commission envisions a public art program that inspires love for Castle Rock and seeks to be a catalyst for memorable art experiences. The Holiday Card Art Contest furthers these goals by engaging students to express their representation of the unique identity of Castle Rock, instilling pride of the Town’s community character and fostering local creativity.
