Work by Past Poster Artists
Also known as the Rockport Art Festival Past Poster Artist Show, the exhibition features works from many of the artists selected to create the signature poster art for the annual Rockport Art Festival through the years, and is a visual representation of what inspires artists to move to Rockport and become part of the most vibrant art community on the Gulf Coast.
The first Rockport Art Festival was hosted in 1969 and has grown to become one of the most respected, and longest-running juried art festivals in the United States. Since 1993, a diverse committee of artists and art patrons have gathered to select one master artist that captures the coastal aesthetic that is symbolic of Rockport’s coastline and the Rockport Art Festival.
This select group of chosen artists that embody the Rockport Art Festival, the first of whom was master artist Harold Phenix, are known for their achievements in the Arts, their engagement and contributions to the Rockport Center for the Arts, and their ability to successfully portray the coastal aesthetic that is uniquely Rockport and that is recognized across the State of Texas. With vibrant paintings inspired by the local scenery, Corpus Christi native McDaniel was the perfect choice.
