Telluride Mountain Village Owners Association (TMVOA), sponsors and organizers of the Telluride Festival of the Arts (TFA), announced today the official slate of 50 juried artists that will be featured in this year's art show. TFA also released the event's official 2009 festival poster, a collectible print commissioned by TFA each year and made available to the public for purchase. This year's poster is a painted piece entitled "The Essence of Pleasures" by award-winning artist Michael Gadlin, known for his surrealistic impressionist body of work spanning over 15 years.
An independent jury, coordinated by the award-winning Cherry Creek Arts Festival (CCAF) on behalf of TMVOA, selected the roster of artists, including both nationally and regionally recognized professionals, based solely on the artistic excellence of their original, handcrafted works. The art show, August 14-16, 2009, is open to the public and will feature artists in 13 different media categories including: ceramics, digital art, drawing, fiber, glass, graphics and printmaking, jewelry, metal-works, mixed media, painting, photography, sculpture and wood. CCAF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation dedicated to educating and exposing Coloradans to the arts. CCAF produces its signature festival during July 4th weekend, which is attended by more than 350,000 visitors annually.
"Festival patrons can look forward to experiencing a spectacular outdoor gallery of fine art which will inspire collectors and first-time art buyers alike," said Terry Adams, CCAF executive director. "Thanks to our 2009 panel of jurors who have brought the Telluride Festival of the Arts to a higher level of excellence by selecting such a diverse group of exceptional artists."
