WHAT DESTINATION CALDWELL IS LOOKING FOR:
The theme is “Creek of Life: Caldwell’s Flowing Heart“; meaning the creek is more than water- it’s the lifeblood of Caldwell, tying together all that makes it special.
The design should celebrate that Indian Creek Plaza is the heart of Caldwell, exuding its heritage and promising future. The artwork should feature both bright, varied colors—including muted greens, oranges, reds, blues, and pinks—that evoke the energy and vibrancy of Caldwell.
Slightly abstract yet visually clear, the piece could incorporate materials like cement or plaster with relief, in the painting style of Van Gogh. The design should inspire excitement and bring energy, connecting the community through imagery of agriculture, wildlife, Western heritage, and a family-friendly vibe.
