Proceeds benefit the Telluride Society for Jazz
The original artwork piece behind the 2021 Telluride Jazz Festival poster is now on auction!
For this year's poster art, painter Ann Krasner's source of inspiration was the vibrant mix of the view seen on Colorado Avenue, "Main Street", in downtown Telluride featuring the town's charming Victorian-era homes, paired with a colorful and funky depiction of jazz musicians. Kranser's stunning rendition combines the small town mountain charm and summertime music for which Telluride has become famous.

Bid on the piece online here, or on-site at the festival's Merchandise Tent and Patron Concierge Station (next to the patron lounge bar) until Sunday, August 15th at 6 pm. The starting bid is $6,000 and the piece is valued at $25,000.
The piece was sourced from Telluride's Ellinof Gallery of fine art and jewelry, making this benefit auction possible!
