2023 Autumn Art Festival Poster
Our 2023 Autumn Art Festival Poster commemorates the 50th anniversary of the festival. Our poster artist is Edward Sanderson. Sanderson is an impressionistic artist who uses acrylics to capture landscapes in vibrant color to evoke emotion and remind viewers to look for the beauty around them. Making Memories on Park Avenue depicts Central Park during the Autumn Art Festival. Sanderson’s paintings can be viewed at www.OriginalsbySanderson.com and on Instagram.
Commemorative posters are available for purchase prior to the festival at the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce and for purchase at the festival at merchandise locations for $20.
Thank you to C&S Press for printing the Autumn Art Festival posters in-kind for over 20 years.
