“The festival lineup poster is such an important promotional and commemorative element of live music festivals, and Bear Shadow is no exception. We have been fortunate to partner with amazing designers to create iconic posters incorporating special symbols from the Highlands area and the amazing talent that has been part of our first two events,” said Casey Reid, Festival Director and Founding Partner of Eleven Events. “Now, we are excited to cast a national call for artists who would love to share their talents with us to design the festival lineup poster and have the opportunity to showcase more of their work at our third annual Bear Shadow event. We are looking forward to seeing what we anticipate will be creative pieces of art and awarding a lucky winner with the honor of putting their personal stamp on our 3rd Annual Bear Shadow music festival.”
The winning design will be used to promote the 2023 Bear Shadow festival – a three-day celebration of music, mountains and revelry with live music performances and fine food and beverages held near Highlands, North Carolina every spring.
The music lineup for the 2023 Bear Shadow music festival will be announced in November. Past performers include Chuck Leavell, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Shelly Colvin, Band of Horses and Trampled by Turtles.
