Special by Kyle Kramm, Seguin Main Street Program director
(Seguin) — Seguin Main Street and the Downtown Business Alliance are looking for artists to submit their artwork to potentially be featured on the 2020 Sip ‘n Stroll mug. Every year, a Seguin landmark is featured on the mug, and the Sip ‘n Stroll Committee selected the 1889 Victorian style Guadalupe County Courthouse to be this year’s featured landmark.
“This will be the 10th anniversary of Sip ‘n Stroll, and the committee really wanted to feature a special landmark for the big milestone, and they decided to recognize the former courthouse since so many people do not know about that part of our history,” said Kyle Kramm, City of Seguin’s Main Street & CVB Director, “The Victorian Courthouse designed by Alfred Giles and built in 1889 was made of stone and featured a tower and balconies. That courthouse would be replaced in the 1930’s by the art deco courthouse that is in the square today.”
Artist should submit their original artwork with any type of medium being considered. The artwork should fit a rectangle measuring 4” high x 8” wide or a ratio similar of 2:1. All artists are welcome to participate and all interpretations of the subject are welcome and will be considered. Artwork should be submitted to the Seguin Main Street office at 116 N. Camp Street by Friday, July 10.
The artwork will be judged by the 2020 Sip n’ Stroll Committee. The chosen artwork will be featured on over 800 mugs, featured in press releases, new articles and shared across social media platforms. The artist will also be invited to be present at Pecan Fest where the sale of the 2020 Sip n’ Stroll mug will be launched.
Sip ‘n Stroll is scheduled for December 4, 2020 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. For updates on Sip ‘n Stroll and all Holiday Stroll events, follow the Seguin Holiday Strol Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SeguinHolidayStroll.
