Calling All Artists!
It’s time for the Second Annual Gordon Hotel Art Contest!
The Gordon is looking to highlight incredible art from our local friends and guests by featuring it on special, limited edition Gordon Hotel vinyl decals. We are looking for submissions using our Gordon G-shaped template (available for digital download here, or prints at the Art Bar in the lobby). Four entries will be selected to be featured as part of the special collection and receive $100 to enjoy at the 5th Street Public Market. If you would like to participate by submitting a piece (or more), please fill out the form below, get creating, and either submit your piece in person or digitally.

The contest will be open to submissions until September 9th, 2024. This contest is open to all ages as long as those under the age of 18 have the signature of a parent/guardian. Artists can submit any number of entries without limit. Artists must use the G-shaped template provided (a digital version is also available). Four entries will be chosen. Winning artwork will be announced September 27th, 2023, and the artists will be contacted via email. The winning artists will receive a $100 certificate to 5th Street Public Market as well as a finalized set of the limited-edition Gordon vinyl decals featuring their artwork.
Just one year ago, we invited our local community and our guests at The Gordon to participate in our first annual art contest. Last year the contest entries were to select art to be used for new limited-edition stationery for the hotel. 2023 brought a surprising amount of watercolor submissions! It was truly beautiful to see how many talented people participated in this fun art race. The images above show the winning art pieces that were turned into beautiful cards.
