All professional and amateur artists encouraged to submit work
ASTORIA — The Astoria
Music Festival announces its
first Poster Art Contest. The
contest is open to all artists,
professional and amateur.
The winning image will
creatively depict subject
matter harmonious with the
festival, be it music, com-
posers, Astoria, the land-
scape — whatever the imagi-
nation evokes. Highlights of
the June 2015 Astoria Music
Festival include Gaetano
Donizetti’s opera “Mary
Stuart,” Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart’s opera “The Mag-
ic Flute,” works by Ludwig
Van Beethoven and a cele-
bration of the 150th anniver-
sary of composer Jean Sibel-
ius’ birth.
The winning artist will be
awarded $500 and two Festi-
val Platinum Cards for entry
to all events of the Astoria
Music Festival, and the win-
ning art will be highlighted
in 3,000 festival programs
distributed throughout the
festival in June. The official
poster will be reproduced for
sale in a limited commemo-
rative edition of 100 signed
copies. The poster will be
featured in festival promo-
tional materials, distributed
at all events and will become
property of Astoria Music
Festival.
In the past, art for the
poster has been commis-
sioned by well-known West
Coast artists, such as Royal
Nebeker and Noel Thomas.
This is the Festival’s 13th
season and it has grown into
a major cultural event, not
only on the North Coast,
in Oregon and the North-
west, but it is also acknowl-
edged throughout the United
States. Organizers hope this
poster contest will be an op-
portunity to unite music and
the visual arts as an inspir-
ing showcase of the rich re-
gional creative community.
The winner of the post-
er art contest will be an-
nounced March 27.
The top 10 finalists’ art
will be displayed in a Peo-
ple’s Choice exhibit at the
Astoria Music Festival Of-
fice/Tempo Gallery during
the Astoria Second Saturday
Art Walk on April 2. Visi-
tors to the office may vote
on their favorite, and the
winner will receive a prize
of $100 and two Weekend
Passes to the Astoria Music
Festival.
