CONGRATULATIONS TO 2024 CALL FOR ARTIST WINNER, MOLLY GRAY
We're thrilled that our street banners and all other 2024 festival-branded materials will feature this year's Call for Artists WINNER, Molly Gray!
Molly, a local Fraser Valley artist, did such an incredible job bringing our vision and theme to life - “For the Love of Music, Art, Culture and Community”.
Her artwork drew inspiration from her niece, a jazz student musician, and the myriad of styles, tempos and moods that make jazz enjoyable for so many.
We got a chance to talk to Molly about her artistic journey and learn more about her digitally-designed masterpiece. Read all about it here
