How is the artist chosen each year?

"We tried bribery, but artists rarely had enough money – so we settled on merit. Since the Festival is a celebration of local culture, we try to choose an artist born in or working in Louisiana. We favor artists with a reputation made over a number of years since they have proven that they can relate to an audience. We then look at portfolios and try find a connection between the artist’s work and a valid Festival subject. Sometimes we start with a subject and look for an artist who’s (sic) work is best suited to express that idea."

I have been watching the poster values grow since the flooding - art4now contacted me and asked if I wanted to sell a signed michalopoulos armstrong for $3ooo - they also told me when NO annnounced a mandatory evacuation, they emptied their warehouse inventory to texas, where they still are as their facility is flood damaged

it appears I now have a tidy fortune in signed and remarque posters even though I bought them because I loved the them, not for appreciation
