2008 Abbot Kinney Festival Poster Contest

The Abbot Kinney District Association is pleased to announce an open call for poster art to celebrate the 24th annual Abbot Kinney Festival. The winning entry will be used as the Festival Poster, in promotions and advertising, as well as on T shirts and bags. Previous years posters have been designed by legendary artists such as Earl Newman and Tom Everhart and emerging local artists Ken Thelian and Hupi Lee.

Entries must be postmarked by May 9th, 2008.

This year's festival theme will emphasize volunteering and connecting with your community.

Because it is an election year, many organizations representing elements of the Democratic process will participate. While the poster does not have to reflect the community involvement theme to be considered, it does need to be representative of the spirit of Venice, include an image of Abbot Kinney, and be appropriate and useful for promotional purposes.

Inside Out

VENICE will take to the streets to celebrate its 102 years of community at the 23rd annual Abbot Kinney Festival. Running through the heart of Venice, Abbot Kinney Blvd will be closed to traffic from Main St. to Venice Blvd to accommodate 2 stages of live music, dancers and performance artists, a spectacular children's court, 3 food areas, a Spirit Garden, Green Living Pavilion and over 300 vendors featuring original, handcrafted goods.

This year, AKDA is proud to announce that ABBOT KINNEY GOES GREEN! We've provided solar generators by EE Solar to serve our energy needs, corn starch BioBags for our vendors, and recycle bins placed throughout the event. In the "Green Living Area" there are environmentally conscious vendors and non-profits, and there will be speakers throughout the day presenting workshops on Green living. We ask the public to please bike to the event, or take public transportation, and if you plan to drive, you can buy carbon offsets at the event. For those who plan to shop, we have cloth tote bags for sale - and if you have your own, then bring those too!
