River Arts Festival
Poster Unveiling
An event was held at L. Ross Gallery for the unveiling of two River Arts Festivals posters. Matthew Hasty was the artist chosen to create the poster for the 2020 festival, which was not held due to Covid. Rather than miss the opportunity, he was tapped to create a second poster for the 2021 festival. Thus two paintings and the posters upon which featured them were shown at the unveiling. Festival chair Bonnie Thorton and artistic director Chuck Mitchell made remarks and then unveiled the posters with the assistance of siblings James and Ava Wells. Photography by Ken Hall
