This  is a call for Art Entries for Good Cheer’s Harvest Party & Music Fest 2010 Poster.

Local artists are encouraged to submit entries for poster artwork for Good Cheer Food Bank’s second annual Harvest Party & Music Fest to be held September 11.

The winning design (as selected by the festival steering committee) will be reproduced on the event’s promotional poster, website, blog, ads, and other materials distributed throughout the area. The chosen artist will receive a $250 check and will be an honored guest at the festival. The artwork will become the property of Good Cheer.

Last years winning entry from Kathy Marshall.

The framed original artwork will be auctioned off at the event, and posters will be for sale as a fundraiser for Good Cheer’s on-site garden. In addition, all submitted artwork will be on display during the day of the festival. Last year the event drew more than 300 people to our Bayview facility.

Our theme this year is “Cultivate Community” which is appropriate since all funds raised during the Harvest Party & Music Fest will go to supporting Good Cheer’s garden. Last year our garden produced more than 5,800 pounds of fresh vegetables for our Food Bank clients. This is an opportunity for artists to use their talents to help create a hunger-free community!

Specifications for artwork and an entry form can be found on Good Cheer’s website or by clicking here. Deadline for submissions is June 11.

I have created a slideshow of last years event so that you can get a  feel for the atmosphere and perhaps assist you in developing a winning poster. Just click on the above photo to see the slideshow. For full screen viewing just click on the icon for full screen viewing in the lower right hand corner.

Everyone involved in this project is a winner; even though a selection must be made.

Thanks for your participation!

Good cheer!
