🖼️ 2025 Official Blue Stone Arts & Music Festival Poster

For the first year the City of Sandy Springs put out a call for entry, seeking a poster design from the community that would truly reflect the spirit and vibrancy of Blue Stone Arts & Music Festival. Inspired by the style of a New Yorker magazine cover, the illustration captures the joyful, creative energy of a fall arts and music festival. Balloons symbolizing music, art, and food float above a diverse crowd of people young and old, of many backgrounds all gathering outdoors under a clear sky, surrounded by the greenery of Sandy Springs and a whimsical fall-leaf blimp drifting overhead. The design celebrates not only the festival, but the inclusive, artistic heart of the community itself.

This limited-edition poster will be sold exclusively at the Blue Stone Arts & Music Festival for just $10. Each of the 100 prints is individually signed and numbered by the artist, making it a truly special keepsake of the festival. Once they're gone, they're gone, so be sure to grab yours early and take home a piece of Sandy Springs creativity!

Posters and the City's 20th Anniversary merchandise will be available for purchase at the Refreshments location on Galambos Way, near the Food Trucks.
