Melissa Eddings Mancuso, an ONU associate professor art, designed and printed a poster for the inaugural "Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival" to be held on Saturday, Feb. 4, the day before the Super Bowl.
Melissa estimated she spent 60 hours designing and printing the 8-color poster which is a little more than a foot wide and a foot and a half high. The silkscreen poster is for sale at $30 each by calling 418-558-1071 or at the Gallery for the Arts. Proceeds will benefit the festival.
Since this is the first-ever football festival in Ada and because the poster was designed by an award-winning artist, the posters are likely to become collector items.
