Marblehead Festival of Arts to Hold Logo Premiere Party Tuesday, January 24

 

Marblehead, MA (January 2, 2012) – The community is invited to the Marblehead Festival of Arts Annual Logo Premiere Party on Tuesday, January 24, from 7–9 pm, at The Landing Restaurant, 81 Front Street, Marblehead. At the Logo Premiere Party, the winning 2012 Logo will be displayed for the first time, and an award will be presented to the winning 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 80 entries from Essex County professional graphic artists, art hobbyists and art students. A panel of three judges selected seventeen semifinalists and then four finalists. A winner was then selected by public ballot at voting locations in Marblehead, where over 1100 ballots were cast. The finalist and semifinalist logo entries will also be on display.

          Lynne DeVoe, chairperson of the Logo Premiere Party, states, “The evening has become a great way to chase away the winter blues, meet and greet Festival friends and hear about Festival plans in the making. Those interested in becoming volunteers are encouraged to come to learn more and enjoy the fun.”

          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. The 2101 Festival slide show will be on display, featuring the many year-round activities the Festival sponsors.

           See the four finalist designs and the award-winning logos of the past 49 years on the Festival website, MarbleheadFestival.org.
