Local Artists Hat Series
3 videos • 2 views • by Rockford IceHogs The Rockford IceHogs teamed up with the Rockford Area Arts Council for a “Local Artists Hat Series" to support the Rockford artist community and give artists a platform to showcase their work, style and creativity, while engaging with the community’s passion for the IceHogs during the 2023-24 season. A call to local artists went out in August 2023 seeking unique artistic designs for an IceHogs hat for three giveaway games for the 2023-24 season. A selection committee made up of IceHogs and Rockford Area Arts Council staff, as well as local artists, selected the three winning artists and their designs. The three winning artists were Joe Tallman, Michael Laskonis, and Ryan Lape. Each artist had their hat produced and handed out to the first 1,500 fans at a select IceHogs game during the 2023-24 season.
