This contest is exclusively open to Douglas County residents, so if you’re a local artist looking to make a difference, here’s your chance. The remaining calendars will be sold to support the Tri Arts Project, a nonprofit dedicated to building a space for the education, presentation, and creation of art in Castle Rock, Colorado.
