The North Lake Tahoe Visitor Information Center is hosting a fundraiser for the art programs of local schools. The center is displaying hand-crafted pieces from classrooms in North Lake Tahoe and Truckee.

The pieces on display, all made from recycled materials, are part of the Ironman Lake Tahoe 2013 Children’s Mural Project.

The public is invited to cast votes for their favorite murals. To cast a vote for a mural purchase a $1 vote. All proceeds are donated the art program that produced the piece.

The North Lake Tahoe Visitor Information Center, located at 100 North Lake Blvd. (at the Y) in Tahoe City, will house the murals until Nov. 15, when voting will end.

Additionally, four winning tickets will be drawn for the public to win one of the murals.

Students were asked to create pieces inspired by the dedication and strength of the Ironman athletes. The organizations with pieces on display are the Boys & Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe, Lake Tahoe School in Incline Village, Tahoe-Truckee High School and the Sierra Expeditionary Learning School in Truckee.
