LARGE LETTER PROJECT
The letters you see above spelling out FestivALL are each 4 feet tall and were created by nine artists from around West Virginia. If you would like to own one of these unique works of art you may bid on them here- shop.ebay.com/festivall/m.html
A City Becomes a Work of Art
The letters below were each designed by a different Charleston artist. This project was organized by Alex Morgado and symbolizes the FestivALL spirit of creativity and collaboration. Put your cursor on the letter to see the name of the artist who made it. Many letters can be double clicked to find out more about their creators.
The poster that was created from these letters in 2009 just won an award from the West Virginia chapter of the Public Relations Society of America:
Crystal Award
Category: B6A Collateral Materials/Posters
Entry Title: “A City Becomes a Work of Art”
Award Group: Not-for-Profit
Organization: FestivALL Charleston
FestivALL is an annual celebration of the arts in Charleston. A few years ago, designer and creative director Alex Morgado, along with FestivALL’s marketing team, developed the theme “A City Becomes a Work of Art” for FestivALL. In 2009, Morgado and FestivALL’s leader Larry Groce brought the theme alive by turning the poster design project for FestivALL into a collaborative effort that involved 22 local artists who produced letter-forms that spelled out the theme.
Congratulations to Alex and all the artists!
