Fremont Arts CouncilCall for Poster Art for 2020 Fremont Solstice Parade!
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.

About the Fremont Arts Council
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.
