This is the press release in its entirety:
Garden Walk Buffalo is looking for submissions of original artwork for use on the Garden Walk 2012 posters, t-shirts and maps. Artwork must be garden-related and should relate to the type of gardens, flowers, and neighborhoods found on Garden Walk Buffalo in late July. This is an excellent opportunity to feature your work to hundreds of local gardeners as well as thousands of visitors.
Submission tips:
- Keep Artwork Simple – it needs to reproduce well on a variety of materials. Do not put any type over the design.
- Try not to use colors or flowers similar to recent artwork used by the GW
- Artwork should be considered “wearable and salable” for both men and women
