Art Selected for Farmers' Market Trailer
Artist Julie Dillon's work was recently chosen and installed as a wrap for Greeley’s Farmers’ Market Trailer. “My vision was to create a sort of surreal 1970's retro design where cows graze on watermelon hills, our Front Range is a line-up of baked goods, and a bee knits a honeycomb. It represents the Farmers' Market where city and country come on Saturday mornings to 'knit together' our community.”
