CALL TO ARTISTS: 

Sunriver Music Festival invites a Central Oregon artist to create the commemorative 48th season poster.

“For over four decades, Sunriver Music Festival has featured some of the most accomplished painters and photographers in the region. The collaboration is a beautiful experience for all involved,” shares Executive Director Meagan Iverson.

Sally MacAllister, 2022 selected poster artist agrees: “It was such an honor to be selected as the season’s poster artist. Of course, I was very excited when I first heard the news, but I was overwhelmed when I saw my artwork on the poster and the publicity pieces the Festival designed. And to have my summer filled with the wonderful concerts – such a rewarding experience.”

Here’s your opportunity to join the ranks of esteemed artists by submitting your artwork to Sunriver Music Festival, to be selected by a jury of professional artists from the Artists Gallery Sunriver.
