Welcome to Taos Ink’s Summer of Love 2009 Psychedelic Poster Contest!
Taos Ink is inviting area artists to create and submit inspired thematic poster designs to commemorate what will be an incredible flashback to the Summer of Love and a salute to Easy Rider (1969) which was written by Peter Fonda and directed by Taos’ own Dennis Hopper, both of whom starred in this counterculture film which captured the imagination of a generation.
The winning poster will be evocative of this era in its graphic style and content. If your poster is chosen, it will be screenprinted in a limited edition and will be shown and sold at galleries and shops throughout Taos throughout the Summer of Love season. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the poster prints will be donated to the Harwood Museum Children’s Art Program, and TAO (Taos’ Artist Organization). An event will be held to view and honor the 10 finalists submissions, At a separate event, the unveiling of the Winning Submission and a signing party for the edition will take place. Location, date and times for these events to be announced.
To participate in this fun and artistic event, please read the Contest Guidelines. Thanks for being part of the Summer of Love and making it groovy! Please send any inquiries you may have to dave@taosink.com
