Tahoe Arts and Mountain Culture is searching for an image for its fourth annual collectible sticker.

To promote the local art community, each year TAMC website creator Becky Bell produces a collectible sticker featuring artwork from a local artist that captures the essence of Lake Tahoe and represents our mountain culture.

Only 1,000 stickers are printed.

“Mackerel Sky” by South Lake Tahoe artist Phyllis Shafer, shown here, was selected in 2009 as the third in the series of collectible stickers because of its lyrical interpretation of our communion with nature.

Local visual artists who would like their artwork considered should send a jpeg file of the image and a brief artist statement by May 15 to Becky Bell at editor@tahoeculture.com. Paintings, mixed media, and photography will be considered.
