Here’s where to find the 2023 poster for the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts

The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts has released its collectible poster, celebrating the festival’s 57th year. The annual festival features artists from across the nation and takes place from July 13-16 in downtown State College and on Penn State’s campus.

The poster, featuring the colors of the festival with art deco lettering, was designed by Penn State graduate Saige Sommese. She drew inspiration from the festival, central Pennsylvania and utilized a design by her late father, Lanny Sommese, an emeritus professor of graphic design at Penn State who designed the posters for nearly five decades.

The 24” by 36” poster is free and can be picked up around town starting Wednesday at these locations:

• Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, 403 S. Allen Street, Suite 205A, State College
