We are excited to announce that the 2023 poster artwork, responding to the theme THIS IS A TEST will be created by Mollie Hosmer-Dillard in collaboration with YOU.
This year, we’re inviting you to take part in a “multi-vocal” painting, meaning a painting that is created by many different people. The final painting will be on display at the fest, and the final image will become this year’s poster. The design we’ve chosen to work with is a repeating pattern of arrows that will fit together—each arrow will be painted by a different person.
There are two ways to be involved in creating the poster and you can find full details on both below.
