September 24, 2024
MOSCOW, Idaho 鈥� 69萝莉app, in collaboration with the city of Moscow Arts Commission, invites the public to attend the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival (LHJF) Commemorative Art Unveiling reception at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the Third Street Gallery inside Moscow City Hall, 206 E. Third St., Moscow.
The reception will feature performances by the U聽of聽I Chamber Jazz Choir and World Beat Ensemble, catering by Goose House Bakery and original poster art by local artist Julene Ewert. The 2025 lineup of concert artists will also be announced at the reception.
鈥淭he commemorative poster sets the festival鈥檚 vibrant visual tone, and we are thrilled to feature Julene鈥檚 exceptional artwork for LHJF 2025,鈥� said Navin Chettri, Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival manager.
Ewert, a U聽of聽I alumna, included aspects of home in her poster design.
鈥淚nspiration came from the hills of the Palouse and the beautiful spring wildflowers that pop up in April, which is when the jazz festival happens,鈥� she said.
Ewert said viewers can expect to notice new, hidden parts of the poster the more they look at it.
The idea for the energetic poster jumped out at Ewert through an archival picture of Hampton.
鈥淚 loved the photo of Lionel jumping on a drum kit,鈥� she said. 鈥淭hat picture set the energy and tone for this design 鈥� it just flew out of me.鈥�
