For the past three years, Noblesville has combined two fantastic pieces of its lively culture – the parks system and the arts – to highlight the work being done in our community. The 2017 Noblesville Parks Foundation’s Parks & The Arts Mayor’s Luncheon is 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, April 28, at Harbour Trees Golf and Beach Club in Noblesville.
The foundation has partnered with the Nob
lesville Schools Art Department to make art, not only for this third annual event, but to ensure local high school art students get real life experience throughout the process. This year’s student artwork theme is “Landmarks” and bidding on the artwork will be available at the luncheon, in addition to note card sets of the Top 12 student pieces.
“I want to thank all of the students that participated. Putting your hard work on display for others to view and judge is not easy,” Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear said. “We have very talented students and I encourage them all to continue challenging themselves and embrace their creativity.”
This luncheon brings awareness to the Parks Foundation, which plays a vital role in maintaining the parks. The foundation was formed in 2014 as a joint venture between the parks and citizen supporters to serve as a fundraising auxiliary for the Noblesville Parks & Recreation Department and its programs.
Sponsorships, tables and seats may still be reserved. Individual tickets are $75; with sponsorship levels at $600, $1,000, $2,500 and $5,000, each receiving a table of eight for the luncheon, plus varying sponsorship perks. For information, visit www.noblesvilleparks.org.
