The Lake Norman Art League’s spring show, “Lake Norman Postcards,” drew hundreds of visitors to a temporary gallery on Main Street during April, and now a dozen works from the show have been made into postcards.

The postcard-sized artworks (5 x 7 inches) were created by local artists, who were asked to depict themes and scenes of the Lake Norman area. A panel of local community leaders and artists secleted their favorites to be produced as art postcards, which are on sale at Main Street Books in Davidson, at the Lake Norman Visitors Center in Cornelius and other locations.

More information also is available on the Lake Norman Art League website. (List of winners below.)

Meanwhile, if you missed the show in Davidson, winning entries will be on display during May at the Lake Norman Convention and Visitors Center, Catawba Avenue in Cornelius. Then they move to Cornelius Town Hall June 3-28.

In July, they’ll be on display at Christa Faut Gallery in Cornelius.
