Shreveport Common, Inc. the 501C3 nonprofit redevelopment arm of Shreveport Common, is having a FUN & GAMES Cornhole Tournament and FUNdraiser on Nov. 27 at Red River Brewery. The event will raise funds to purchase/commission large scale and tabletop games and a mobile kiosk for Caddo Common park.

Additionally, Shreveport Common is promoting the importance of artists in our community. To do this, they are adding a commission opportunity to 3 selected (by jury) artists to each paint a Cornhole set. The 3 Cornhole sets will be featured at a silent Auction on Nov. 27 (5 - 10pm).

Selected Artists will receive a birch wood, professionally built Cornhole set which includes two boards. The face of the boards is 24” X 48.” Cornhole boards are set on an incline with the top footing at 12” and the bottom footing at 3.” A 6" hole is located 9" from the top. Artists will paint the the top board or face including the ½” sides of that face. Once dry, the boards will be picked up by the builder/vendor who will handle the top coat application process.

Please note that Cornhole sets are made up of two boards, such as a pair of shoes. Both boards in a set should be the same, or connect in some way.

Interested Artists’ NWLA Directory page will be reviewed by a Jury. The 3 selected Artists will be notified, submit a design for approval, pick up their primed boards and deliver their painted (dry) boards.
