Hello Artists and Graphic Designers!

Every year the Fremont Arts Council makes a poster for the Fremont Solstice Parade. We also use the design elements in parade promotions like postcards and ads. These design pieces are distributed and displayed all over the region.

We invite artists to submit designs for consideration for use in this year’s campaign. The successful artist will be awarded $250 honorarium for the design, a membership in the Fremont Arts Council, a profile on our website crediting you with this year’s design; and the grand notoriety of your design representing this beloved Seattle event.

  • Proposals due: March 19
  • Finalist notified: March 22
  • Final Design due: April 5

Proposal to include:

  • Your contact info, including a phone number
  • A brief description and/or sketch of your poster idea(s)
  • 3-5 images that represent your work
  • A brief statement that expresses your interest in the Fremont Solstice Parade and the Fremont Arts Council
  • (optional) Your website link

Please send your proposal no later than March 19 to outreach@fremontartscouncil.org or deliver them to the Power House Art Studio, 3940 Fremont Ave. N. Powerhouse hours are indeterminate; please feel free to use the mail slot on our front door!

The design should be simple and eye catching, and reflect the spirit of this community celebration. Themes to consider: music; dance; large puppets; bicycles; Joie de Vivre; public spectacle; The Longest Day of The Year. Let us know how you see the Parade!

About the Fremont Arts Council

 

Torrin Maynard 2014_21

The Fremont Arts Council (FAC), engages community to cultivate the spirit of celebration where everyone is an artist. The FAC believes that art helps build stronger communities and that Fremont is a state of mind, not a zip code. We welcome the participation of everyone regardless of who they are, or what they think or believe.

The Fremont Solstice Parade & Celebration is the signature event f the FAC.  We celebrate the longest day of the year through profound street theater, public spectacle, and a kaleidoscope of joyous human expressions. The FAC also creates and cares for public art like the Fremont Troll, and engages everyone year-round in workshops and events including May Day, Luminata, Troll-o-ween, and Feast of the Winter Solstice.
