The Genesee Center for the Arts and Education will be located in the Food Court during the two days of the Festival.

The Festival’s poster art committee, led by neighborhood volunteers, selected Greenwald because his design best embodied this year’s poster theme, “Iconic Corn Hill: reworked, rethought and reinvented.” According to Lee Pumputis, a member of the poster committee, “Greenwald’s work stood out from the others.”

“I’ve been honored to have my artwork chosen for this year’s Corn Hill Arts Festival,” said Greenwald. “The inspiration for the poster comes from the sense of history and community that Corn Hill has. I felt that the old Victorian style of the gazebo where friends and family could gather communicated the deep history of Corn Hill, and the sense of family and community perfectly.”

Inspired by west coast designer, Michael Schwab, Greenwald tries to incorporate elements of WPA era posters, vintage advertising art, Art Deco styling, and heavy lines and bold colors into his own unique style.

James Greenwald

Greenwald was born and raised in Western, NY and currently resides in Somerset, about 60 miles west of Rochester. He lives with his wife of 20 years and two children. Greenwald received his degree in Science Education from Buffalo State College and currently works within the Niagara County Correctional system.

The 2011 commemorative posters and t-shirts, featuring James Greenwald’s design will be available for purchase at the Festival’s t-shirt and poster booth, located on Adams Street near the Avery Mall.

“We take great pride in our support for the arts,” said Jeff Lennox, President, Archer Communications. “And we’re excited that Heather now has an outlet to showcase her work.”

The Emerging Artist Expo, Sponsored by Archer Communications, was held this past July at the Corn Hill Arts Festival, in the historic Corn Hill neighborhood. The annual exhibit is dedicated to showcasing the works of Rochester’s young and up-and-coming artists, and allows first-time art show participants, ranging in age from 15 to 25, the opportunity to display and sell their pieces at the Festival.

“The excitement and anticipation that the young artists bring has made the Emerging Artist Expo a festival favorite for the past two years,” said Jeff Holdsworth, Corn Hill Arts Festival Committee Chair, “We look forward to next years event, which is expected to draw an even wider range of talented young artists.”
