2025 FEATURED ART + Poster

As we celebrate year 20, the poster is getting a full circle design moment. The first version that featured art by an exhibiting artist was unveiled during year eight (2013) of the Festival, and it showcased “Dwarf Rabbit on Pink” by Birmingham’s Susan Shoemaker. In 2025, we are revisiting this wildlife muse through the eyes of Hoover’s Inés Orihuela, MRF’s Featured Artist. Her animal portraits are all wonderful, but “Conejo” (Rabbit) in particular, jumped out to us. We love its detail, color, quirky character, and the connection to our past as we look ahead to the next 20 years!

Did you catch our kick off announcement last week about Inés? If you missed it, here is a link to the post.
