Clifden Arts Festival is celebrating its 49th year as a community arts festival in September 2026.
We are looking for an artist, illustrator or designer to create our poster. We are looking for expressions of interest now. We do not ask you to send us a finished poster for the March 9th deadline.
When chosen, you will have approximately 6 weeks to first deliver a preliminary design and to then complete the image.
Commission fee for chosen poster candidate €1000
It is important to the festival that we represent diversity and inclusion in the people and children that are featured on our posters. Please refer to our website for past poster examples.
We do not want AI-generated imagery.
Expression of interest details:
Email Clare at visualarts@
Include your full name and address, and a short paragraph about your poster design/illustration experience.
Attach 3 images of your past work that best represent your style
We will reply with a decision approximately a week after the deadline
