Poster Artists from year's past show recent work in the Garden Gallery to kick off Art Festival season!
Each year an outstanding artist is selected for a solo exhibition during the summer, and creates the signature "poster piece" which becomes the official image of the Rockport Art Festival. The original artwork that inspires the poster is auctioned off as the final item of the Live Auction during the Art Auction Gala, preceding the Art Festival.
Past Poster Artists are honored each year with a group exhibition of recent work in RCA's Garden Gallery, and select works from Past Poster Artists are available during the Art Auction Party preceding the Art Festival.
