MEET DAVID TATE Official artist for the 61st Annual Arts & Crafts Festival The Planning Committee for the 61st Annual Arts & Crafts Festival has selected the official artwork to be printed on festival posters and T-shirts. The artwork was created by local artist David Tate and features the most popular site and destination in Fairhope, the Fairhope Municipal Pier and rose garden. The impressionistic acrylic painting is bright and colorful and is a scene depicting the view of the pier from the Henry George Park on the bluff. “That is my favorite view,” said Tate. “I enjoy the sunsets and listening to the Baldwin Pops perform there.” Tate’s work was chosen after a year of research by the committee to pick just the right work of art for the popular festival that brings an estimated 300,000 people to the downtown area for the three-day Eastern Shore Chamber Continued on next page
