Request for Expressions of Interest – The Summerfolk Music & Crafts Festival is seeking an artist to create the artwork for our 2016 festival branding. This is a paid position to create artwork for our 2016 poster and to be adapted by our designers for all marketing channels, including website, merchandise, and print.
Please visit www.summerfolk.org for more information about Summerfolk and its history.
Who can submit:
Illustrators, painters, graphic artists, printmakers, photo artists/manipulators. We want something original.

Ways to submit:
