MIDDLETOWN, Calif. — This year the Middletown Art Center celebrates seven years of serving Lake County and is doing so by transforming into the MAC.

As part of this growth, the MAC is calling everyone (artist or not) to help visualize their future with an art competition for a new logo.

First place prize is $500.

After popular demand the deadline has been extended to Sept. 24.

The winning design will be the basis for a new MAC logo, which will be installed as a sign on the MAC’s home at the junction of Highways 175 and 28, the most traveled intersection in South Lake County.

The design winner and runners-up will be recognized at the MAC For Lake County launch event on Oct. 9.

Submission deadline for designs is Sept. 24 and competition guidelines can be found on the MAC website.

Celebrate the Middletown Art Center officially becoming MAC at the MAC For Lake County event on Oct. 9.

Event will include a collaborative and interactive artwork, Lake County speakers, a tour of MAC’s 3D Virtual Exhibit living archive, complimentary wine tasting, a silent auction and more.
