Local artist, Mark Salinas, and his artwork, Sledflakes, on display during free event

Tahoe City, CA–December 10, 2019 – Boatworks at Lake Tahoe has commissioned artwork called Sledflakes in collaboration with local artist Mark Salinas and the Tahoe Fund. Made from discarded sled pieces found on sled hills in Tahoe, Sledflakes supports the regional Take Care Tahoe initiative to reduce the number of sleds left on hills, by bringing awareness to the issue and the harmful effects of plastic on the Lake.

The event is December 13, 2019 starting at 5:00 p.m. inside the Boatworks at Lake Tahoe in Tahoe City. Attendees can view sustainable art, drink complimentary beer and wine, and support Tahoe City’s youth. Boatworks at Lake Tahoe is asking attendees to bring a new, unopened toy, that will be donated to local youth.

“For the past few years we have been working with our Take Care Tahoe partners to try to reduce the amount of sleds and litter left behind at sled hills in Tahoe,” said Tahoe Fund CEO Amy Berry. “This is such a fun way to draw attention to the problem. We are so thankful to Boatworks at Lake Tahoe for creating this opportunity and to Mark for using his artistic talents to help spread the word.”
