Coloring Book Post

Barry County Coloring Book

The Thornapple Arts Council and Barry County Tourism Council are partnering to produce a coloring book of historic and cultural sites in our area. Beginning February 14th, submit your drawings for the chance to see them in print!

Coloring books will be given free to each third grade student who visits Charlton Park as part of their Michigan history lesson. They will also be provided free to the Commission on Aging and Thornapple Manor for clients and residents in those facilities. Coloring books will be available for sale at select sites throughout the county.

Participation Information

Who Can Participate
Anyone living, working, or attending school in Barry County!

Submission Limit
Three per person

Drawing Guidelines
Cultural and historic sites submitted for consideration should be places and events that impact the history and culture of the Barry County community. Examples include…

  • Gilmore Car Museum
  • Central Elementary School
  • Bowen’s Mill
  • McKeown Bridge
  • Putnam District Library
  • Thornapple Plaza
  • Pierce Cedar Creek Institute
  • Charlton Park
  • Union Block Project

Submissions should be easy-to-color renderings of Barry County cultural and historic sites. Artists both amateur and professional are encouraged to make submissions, and a selection committee will choose the best entries to go into the coloring book. All artists will be given credit for their work.
