2009 Voters' Choice

PROPERTIES OF MERIT 2010


2010 Properties of Merit have begun - The committee is out reviewing their choices of homes this year for nominations.  Quakertown Alive! Properties of Merit strives to improve the community's image by acknowledging residential and/or commercial properties who have consistently demonstrated their community spirt through the beautification of their property.  Attractive, clean & well-maintained  neighborhoods discourage negative behavior and are key components in maintaining a healthy community.

This is the fourth year for Quakertown Alive! Properties of Merit,  and the committee is excited to have started their recommendations for this year's nominations
The area for this event includes all of Quakertown Borough which will be divided into three divisions
Meetinghouse
Park
Trolley
Each division will have three or four single homes nominated, and a total of four twins or rowhomes which will be put in one division.  After the nominations are reviewed by the committee the honoree will receive a yard sign announcing their nomination 

These will be our Honorees for the year 2010.

From August 25th through September 22nd you will be able to view the nominated homes on our website.  You can then either print out a ballot from our website or visit our friends at the Michener Library, QNB, McCooles, Quakertown Borough, Sine's 5&10 and the office of Quakertown Alive! to get a ballot or deposit your completed ballot.

A reception will be held on October 19th at the Free Press Building, 312 West Broad Street, Quakertown to recognize everyone that was nominated and to announce the winners that were voted on by the public.

Any property can be nominated for recognition.  Nominations should be received by Quakertown Alive! by Friday July 30, 2010 in order to be included in the balloting.   Our number is 215-536-2273.

 
My Image to Art

A new fun concept for an art show, "My Image to Art".  Send one of your own photos to be used as the subject of a painting.

jim_lukens_painting
Clymers Mill painting that Jim Lukens donated to Quakertown Alive!

But, it's not quite that easy.  You submit your favorite photo of any image you think would  make a beautiful painting.  It can be a fall landscape, a pet, a spring scene, a stone farmhouse, etc.  Of all the pictures submitted, ten to fifteen will be chosen to be made into a painting.  Jim Lukens, a well known Bucks County artist, will be turning the images into works of art.
After all the paintings are completed, there will be a show exhibiting the art.  Only then will you find out if your image was chosen to be made into a painting.  Everyone attending the opening show will get to vote for their favorite.  The winning image/painting will be given to the person who submitted the image.
All other paintings will be for sale. 

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Quakertown Alive!, supporting the arts in the Upper Bucks County area.
