The original artwork piece behind the 2017 Telluride Jazz Festival poster is now on auction! To build this year's poster, the festival staff took a fine piece of Telluride-inspired art from Eugenio Cohaila and formatted it to suit our lineup poster. This one-of-a-kind piece was created using oil on canvas. Pulling full inspiration from Telluride, the art depicts a lively downtown Main Street with a stunning alpine sunset glow. This piece represents the vibrance and elegance of the festival.
If you love the artwork, bid online to take home this one-of-a-kind original painting. Bid on the piece here, at the Merchandise Tent and at the Patron Concierge Station during the festival until Sunday, August 6, at 6 PM.
The piece was sourced from Telluride's Ellinof Gallery of fine art and jewelry, making this benefit auction possible!
