2024 POSTER & T-SHIRT
KEYT covered our opening Reception! Check it out here!
Each year Summer Solstice has a poster and t-shirt contest once the theme is set.The theme this year is FLIGHTS OF FANCY. The Artists in the community submit their finished works to illustrate the theme. The winner’s image appears on posters, t-shirts, and there is an honorarium for the artist who is selected. There is a $500 Award for the winner. The FINAL CHANCE TO VOTE was at the ARTIST’S RECEPTION January 30, at Legacy Art Santa Barbara, 1230 State Street, 5-8 PM.
GUIDELINES FOR ARTISTS: The collection of artwork for the Poster and T-shirt art takes place at the Solstice Office, 924 Anacapa Street, Suite 3-h (third floor). Artwork must be ready to hang, with the title of the artwork, your name, address, email and phone number on the back.
Solstice provides the wording for the poster, so artists are free to express their vision for the poster and t-shirt, keeping in mind the theme. As a guideline, remember the final poster formats will be 18 x 24 "portrait" 24 x 18 "landscape". Artwork does not have to be that size, it's simply a guide. Think about posters that you love as artwork on your walls. Also, consider what it might look like on a t-shirt, for men and women and children, and of course, keep all the wonder, whimsy and fun of Solstice!
