Making Connections

Despite the chilly forecast, Summerfair Cincinnati is in full swing!

Recently, the non-profit arts organization put out a call to artists for its annual poster competiion.

Each year, artists from around Greater Cincinnati are invited to submit their designs for the annual Summerfair poster. The poster competition for 2025 is now underway! The winning design will become the official visual icon for Summerfair 2025. The chosen artist will receive $3,000, as well as wide spread recognition through the Summerfair marketing campaign. The poster serves as the cornerstone of the advertising and public relations program each year and is always a collector’s item.

If you’re looking for a way to support art and artists, you can learn more about Summerfair at a membership drive event this Monday, Nov. 18 at HighGrain Brentwood, 9176 Winton Road.
