In preparation for the 2007 Blueberry Arts Festival, the local Arts Council holds an annual t-shirt and festival logo design contest. Blueberry Arts Festival t-shirts are a cherished and collected memento from each year's summer festival. Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council gives out a cash prize which is awarded to the creator of the chosen design. This year we submitted several designs for which the above design was chosen by the Arts Council. We are very excited that our design was chosen this year.
The Blueberry Arts Festival in Ketchikan is held on the first weekend of August, celebrating summer and blueberries. Over 7000 Ketchikan- area residents, cruiseship passeners and independent travelers attend this festival that features local and visiting artists, community organizations, gourmet food and blueberry delicacies, games, performing arts and visual arts demonstrations. Traditional Blueberry activities include the Blueberry Juried Art Show of work by area visual artists at the Mainstay Gallery, the Fun Run sponsored by the Ketchikan Runners Club, a slug race and slug weigh-in, a Trivia Contest sponsored by the Friends of the Library, a Spelling Bee, a Blueberry Pie Eating Contest co-sponsored by Tatsuda's IGA and WestCoast Cape Fox Lodge, and the Blueberry Battle of the Bands (a great turn out of bands), and the Best Blueberry Dish Contest.
Hope to see you all there.
