Marblehead Festival of Arts to Hold Logo Premiere Party Tuesday, January 25

 

Marblehead, MA (January 1, 2011) – The public is invited to the Marblehead Festival of Arts Annual Logo Premiere Party on Tuesday, January 25, from 7–9 pm, at The Landing Restaurant, 81 Front Street, Marblehead. At the Logo Premiere Party, the winning 2011 Logo will be displayed for the first time, and an award will be presented to its artist. Delicious hors d’oeuvres will accompany a cash bar.

 

Every year, the Festival is represented by a new logo, the result of a design competition. This year’s Logo Contest featured 55 entries from Essex County professional graphic artists, art hobbyists, and art students. A panel of three judges selected sixteen semifinalists and then four finalists. A winner was then selected by public ballot at voting locations in Marblehead and Swampscott. The semifinalist logo entries will also be on display.

 

Logo Contest co-chairwoman, Sharman Pollender, states “The Logo Premiere Party has become a fun way to chase away the winter blues, meet and greet Festival friends, and hear about Festival plans in the making. A special treat that evening will be the performance of the band Take Two, featuring Christine Lucas and Patrick Hayden.”

 

The Marblehead Festival of Arts is an all-volunteer organization, and Festival Board Members will be on hand to answer any questions attendees may have regarding volunteer opportunities. Preparations are underway for fundraising events, exhibits, and performing arts that all require help. Pollender added, “All are invited to come join in the fun that evening and enjoy a great celebration.”
