The city of Ketchum is seeking artists to design the 2023 Wagon Days poster.
Selected artwork will be the official poster for the 2023 celebration of Wagon Days and will be incorporated onto souvenir items such as commemorative mugs, pins, t-shirts, etc.
Posters from past years featured photographs, collages, pastels, watercolors and oil paintings. All art submissions are welcome, including preliminary sketches.
Over the years, the posters have become treasured souvenirs of the annual Wagon Days celebration, and many have become collectors’ items.
Posters and souvenir items will be on display and offered for sale at Wagon Days Headquarters leading up to and during Wagon Days, which takes place on Sep. 1 and 2. Headquarters will be located at the Ore Wagon Museum on the corner of East Ave. and Fifth St.
The selected artist will receive a stipend of $350. Photographers, graphic artists, and others working in creative fields are encouraged to apply.
Submissions are due by Apr. 15 and should be emailed to heather@sunvalleyevents.com.
