Dogwood Festival

The Dogwood Festival, which runs throughout April, celebrates arts, culture and the community through various events. The festival attracts more than 20,000 visitors each year and is coordinated through the work of community volunteers, and administered by the Center for Arts and History at Lewis-Clark State College.

Each year the Center for Arts and History commissions a local artist to design their commemorative poster. The design is then used on marketing materials for all events, and is printed on t-shirts that are sold at each event. In 2020 I was selected as the artist, and developed a modern interpretation of a dogwood tree as the logo on the poster. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the festival was canceled that year. Although the event did not take place, the Center for Arts and History continues to use the dogwood tree logo I created for marketing materials.
