Winners Announced for Arts Los Altos Instagram Photo Contest

CREATIVITY LIVES HERE! Local residents and musicians Mary Gospe and Corrie Dunn created the winning entry for the Arts Los Altos Instagram Photo Contest while making music at 200 Main Street [an inventory of time & place], the newest mural presented by Arts Los Altos at the corner of Main and Third St downtown. The duo, known as The Song Gardeners, just released their debut album, People Passing Through, and found that the mural was the perfect backdrop for their album’s cover art.

The runner-up winner, Ella Okhlopva, showcased 2 young people and a dog planning a wonder-filled adventure from the mural’s doorway into the wide open hills of Los Altos. Who doesn’t love kids, dogs and a spirit of imagination and excitement?

And finally, Portland (OR) residents Eliza Coblentz, Mike Kendrick and their daughter Rennie Kendrick (who is starting graduate studies at Stanford this fall) snapped this playful family photo during a visit with their Los Altos friends, Laura Roberts and Bob Jones. 

The mural’s artist, Martha Sakerelliou, designed this lifesize work to encourage viewer interaction and posting on social media to share unique ideas of “making yourself at home” in Los Altos.
