- AHDC board member and plate designer, Josh Wright, helps Mayor Carolyn Bowers install one on her car.
The Arts and Heritage Development Council is offering Clarksvillians a chance to show off the county’s heritage through a set of special car-front license plates.
The plates feature the city’s “Top Spot” logo along with an image of either the county courthouse or Port Royal covered bridge.
Sales of the plates, designed by local architect and AHDC board member Josh Wright, will help fund AHDC projects to promote opportunities for the arts and heritage audiences of our community.
The plates may be purchased for $10 through Seasons: The Museum Store or from the AHDC website’s Buy/Donate page.

2011 Cultural Calendar Now Available
The Clarksville/Montgomery County Arts and Heritage Development Council has produced a 2011 cultural calendar, featuring works by local artists, dates of historical interest to city residents and activities planned for the community in the coming year.
At $5 each, the calendars make great stocking stuffers or holiday gifts for friends and co-workers.
This year’s calendar offers art from and about Clarksville and Montgomery County. Artwork in the desk calendar points to the diversity of the local arts community by showcasing pieces in watercolor, colored pencils and photography.
Artists whose works are featured in this publication are Lynne Griffey, Susan Bryant, Heather Bro Moroschak, Grant Schryver, Gabriele Wardeiner, Cliff Whittaker, Jim Hancock, Beverly Parker, Curtis Davis, Greg Williamson and Paula Edwards.
The Clarksville/Montgomery County AHDC promotes the city’s art community and historical heritage through sponsoring help with grants, an annual writers’ conference, a historical tour of homes, local art exhibits, and literary and musical performances.
The calendar was printed by Jostens Printing and Publishing.
It is currently on sale at Seasons, the gift shop for Customs House Museum and Cultural Center. Seasons is open to the public; there is no admission charge for the shop.
