To bring Gnomevember to life, we enlist the help of local artists who transform the gnomes into works of art, each telling a unique story. Each spring, artists submit their gnome design proposals. This year, 6 artists were chosen to participate in the exhibition.
Gnomes are prepared for the artists at the Garden by pouring mixed concrete into one of two silicon and fiberglass gnome molds. Once the concrete is set, the artists come to the Garden to meet their unpainted gnome for the first time. Over a few months of quality time together, the artists bring their gnomes to life with paint and love. When the time comes, the artists return their gnomes to the Garden and say so long (for now). The gnomes enjoy their time to shine throughout the month of November. At the end of the month, the gnomes find their favorite place to hide out until the next Gnomevember.
We would like to recognize and thank all the artists whose gnome designs are featured in this year's Gnomevember.
