Fairbanks - Poster Signing at Art Expo This Weekend for 2007 Festival Poster
FAIRBANKS – The Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival proudly presents the 2007 Poster Signing 11 am – 5 pm both Saturday, March 17 and Sunday, March 18, at the Alaska Centennial Center for the Arts, Civic Center Exhibit Hall, located at Pioneer Park off Airport Way.
This year’s featured artist is Cheryl Berrong, a local artist from Fairbanks. The watercolor painting, entitled “June’s Sunflowers” features a colorful array of wild sunflowers. Although she has been painting for many years, this is Cheryl’s first published painting.
Born in Ft. Yukon and raised in mining camps in the 40-mile district, Chicken and Tok, Cheryl is a lifelong Alaskan. She began drawing and painting as a child and with the guidance and encouragement of her mother, also an artist, she explored various mediums. Cheryl is a multi-media artist, but works primarily in watercolor. Her florals and landscapes express light and color. Her passion is to share the joy and adventure of her surroundings and creativity through her art. Cheryl lives 20 miles north of Fairbanks at Cleary Summit with her partner, Mike Goulding, two black cats, and several raucous ravens.
All posters sold at the Art Expo will be signed by the artist. Posters are $10 each. Also hot off the press, the 2007 Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival Catalog will be available this weekend. The 2007 registration form is now available online. Go to www.fsaf.org to print out the registration form. For more information on the poster signing or class information, contact the Festival office at 907.474.8869 or email festival@alaska.net.
