Nearly 40
entrants competed in the contest to create a design for an official
City of Bastrop flag. Finalists were juried by a panel of artists
from the Bastrop Fine Arts Guild. The Bastrop City Council voted
on the winning selection. This calendar represents the finalists
in the contest.
The calendar cover art was the entry chosen by the Bastrop City
Council as the design to be used as the official flag for the
City of Bastrop:
“Unity for Everyone” by Charles
E. Kleinert
(Pencil, Ink, and China Marker)
“I used the date, 1832, which
is the historically correct date of the founding of Bastrop,
Texas, as Bastrop celebrated its 150th year in 1982. The banner
above the lonely pine speaks for itself. The pine symbolizes
the lost pines of Texas.” -

A
special thanks to Michal Hubbard of the Friends of the Bastrop
Public Library and the Bastrop Fine Arts Guild for her production
work on the calendar.
