Festival Poster artist

Each year a local artist with ties to the Memphis arts community is selected as our commemorative fine arts poster artist. Derived from original work, the poster design is intended to communicate the vitality of our community and our festival. 

Posters (24”x36”) will be sold at the Art Center Supply and Frame Shop on Union Ave. and at the festival merchandise tent.
