Canadian mixed-media artist Marjolyn van der Hart has been named Featured Artist for the upcoming Cottonwood Art Festival, to be held May 7-8 at Cottonwood Park. Van der Hart’s work, known for its layers of nostalgic images, will be incorporated into the festival poster, merchandise and marketing graphics and will be featured in a centrally located booth at the festival.

Now in its 53rd year, the semiannual Cottonwood Art Festival displays the museum-quality work of more than 200 artists from across the country in a juried show, and also includes live musical performances, numerous dining options and a creative children’s area. Admission to the festival is free.
