Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Like chocolate and peanut butter, art and parks make a great combination (or did I just eat too much Halloween candy?)
This year was another record-breaker for the Posters for Parks Show. The 6th annual event showcased 40 local artists’ park-inspired designs with sales topping out at 837 posters sold! Thank you to all the artists who participated and those of you who purchased their beautiful work.
Here are a few highlights from this year’s event:
- More than 1,000 folks registered for the October 23rd presale – another record.
- Orders were placed from 24 states across the country.
- “Wildflowers of Minneapolis Parks” by Studio on Fire was the biggest seller with 89.
- 20 artists sold more than 20 posters, and five artists sold out.
- More than $36,000 was raised, with half going to the artists and proceeds from the other half going to the People for Parks Fund.
- We had 554 votes for the People’s Choice which went to “Parkway” by Cheryl Peick – Congratulations!
