Ornaments needed for Capitol tree

The North Dakota Council on the Arts is asking artists and craftspeople to provide handmade ornaments for the North Dakota State Christmas Tree.

The tree will be on display in the Memorial Hall of the state Capitol building in Bismarck.
The tree will be lit during a public ceremony conducted by Gov. John Hoeven and his wife, Mikey, on Dec. 3.

Submitted ornaments can vary from traditional to contemporary arts. Items that are commercially produced or made from kits are not eligible for inclusion.

Each ornament should include a brief one, or two line description of the ornament. Also include the name(s) of the individual artist/craftsperson who created the ornament(s).

Ornaments must be received in the NDCA office no later than Nov. 20. All ornaments become the property of the NDCA and will be hung on the state tree each ensuing year.
