A new ornament is released every year in the fall, just in time for the holidays. This fun tradition began in 2004 when Howard Levine and the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Downtown Grass Valley Association found an ornament manufacturer that specialized in custom made ornaments. Though the manufacturers have changed throughout the years, the tradition has not. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e    All the ornaments are made of brass, and with the exception of the Ore Cart and the Stamp Mill, the ornaments are colored with enamel, and come in a presentation box. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thecenterforthearts.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe Center For The Arts\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe building dates back to 1947 and was used for various car dealerships until 1984. Between 1984 and 1998 it was used for a beauty school, a dance center, and (briefly) as a video production center.  In 1998 the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNorthern California Center for the Arts leased the building, and in 2001 was \"purchased by J\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eon Blinder with funding from Gold Country Lenders\", and in 2003, he then donated the building to the Center for the Arts. Beginning in 2004 the building underwent stages of renovations and improvements that were completed in 2020... just in time for the Covid-19 pandemic. The gorgeous Art Deco style exterior adds an elegance to downtown Grass Valley, and the quality of programs and community events adds to the quality of life in Nevada County. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe complete list of ornaments: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2004 : Holbrooke Hotel (sold out) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2005: Del Oro Movie Theater (sold out) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2006: Grass Valley Library Royce Branch\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2007: Old Post Office\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2008: Nevada County Bank (sold out) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2009: Foothill Flowers (sold out) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2010: Corestores (sold out) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2011: The Union Square Building (sold out) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2012: Clock Tower (sold out) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2013: The Stamp Mill\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2014: Ore Car \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2015: Episcopal Church\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2016: Elks Lodge\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2017: Tofanelli's\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2018: Tess'\/Mill St Clothing Co. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2019: Heart \u0026amp; Home\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2020: Yuba Blue  \u003cbr\u003e2021: Center For The Arts\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2022: Holbrooke Hotel (Restoration)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corestores","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40251656798255,"sku":"GVDA21","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/3895\/1215\/products\/DSC_6691_f8342137-3d91-4e7d-ade5-81cf3cb73dc2.jpg?v=1637697929","url":"https:\/\/corestores.shop\/products\/downtown-grass-valley-ornament-the-center-for-the-arts-2021","provider":"Corestores","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
