2010 Taste Of Buffalo
Poster Art Contest
“Call For Entries”
As Chairman of this year’s Taste of Buffalo, presented by TOPS, I am excited to offer this
opportunity for yet another emerging Western New York artist to be recognized. For over 25 years,
the Taste of Buffalo has delivered Western New York’s premier summer festival and this year’s
Taste of Buffalo promises to be another fantastic event.
Sincerely,
Mac Hartman
2010 Taste Of Buffalo Chairman
The successful Grand Prize Winner will have their artwork used in some of the 2010 “Taste of
Buffalo – presented by TOPS” official advertising materials!
This is a great opportunity for students to develop a strong understanding of the bond of art
within the community and how it can effect the outcome of an event. This project can be used
as both a teaching tool and an opportunity for students to further develop their portfolios as they
prepare for a curriculum in art and/or design.
