Past Poster Artist: Honoring Our Legacy
Exhibition dates: June 19 - August 1, Opening Reception June 20
Every year, a special committee honors one artist as the Art Festival poster artist. This individual is chosen for their achievements and excellence in the arts, for their engagement and contributions to the Rockport Center for the Arts, and for their ability to capture the coastal aesthetic that Rockport and the Rockport Art Festival are recognized for.
The annual Summer Past Poster Artist exhibition honors our poster artists from the very beginning.
