Calling all Fremont artists and graphic designers: the Fremont Arts Council (FAC) needs your proposals and designs for a kick-ass poster and killer t-shirt to promote and represent the 2015 Solstice Parade. The FAC can use one image for both applications, or two different designs.
The artist(s) that submit the design(s) chosen will be awarded a $75 honorarium (or $150 for both,) but they will also gain grand notoriety as the creator of an creative, gorgeous image that could become iconic around the Center of the Universe. A truly spectacular design may easily become a lasting, beloved part of Fremont’s legend.
Proposals for designs must be submitted by Monday, April 17th with the final design due on April 24th. Image proposals must be nearly complete, including color and elements. Send the proposals, and final designs, to parade@fremontartscouncil.org, or deliver them, via the mail slot, at The Powerhouse Art Studio at 3940 Fremont Ave N.
Designs must be simple and eye-catching, and reflect the spirit of the community Solstice celebration. Themes to consider include horn/percussion music, dance, large puppets, bicycles, public spectacle, the longest day of the year and parade.
All poster designs must include:
- Fremont Arts Council (smaller than the event title)
- 2015 Fremont Solstice Parade and Celebration
- Featuring HONK! Fest West (smaller than the event title)
- Saturday, June 20th, 2015 at 3pm
- Follow us to Gas Works Park for more HONK! Bands, Great Food & Beer Garden, Art and Family Fun!

All t-shirt designs must include:

Please submit your creative ideas for these potentially iconic art pieces. If you have questions, contact lesliez@fremontartscouncil.org, although designs must be submitted to The Powerhouse or parade@fremontartscouncil.org
