Take Home The Original Artwork

For this year's poster art, painter Ann Krasner's source of inspiration was the vibrant mix of colorful and funky jazz musicians performing on the Main Stage in Town Park. Krasner'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 14 at 6 pm.
