2010 JAZZ FEST POSTER ARTIST

The official 2010 Jacksonville Jazz Festival poster was created by Art Center artist/president Marsha Hatcher who painted her interpretation of how Jacksonville comes alive during the annual jazz festival. Aptly titled, "River City Rumble," her artwork depicts the way the city exudes energy and excitement of talented musicians entertaining the masses. The use of vivid colors and diversity create a sense of enthusiasm represented in her work. FOR MORE INFO-
