This exhibit represents 40 official festival posters representing the past 50 years of Mount Dora Arts Festivals. The collection spans 1985 thru 2025.

This amazing exhibit of artwork and history is brought to you as a generous gift to MDCA from the personal collection of Bruce Weber and Laura Silverman.

Bruce Weber commented, ”We searched for the older posters from 1980 to 1984 but could never find them.  We know that the festival started in 1975 and according to Gary Hopcraft (MDCA Historian) there were no posters made until the 1980 festival.  We figure there are 5 years of posters outstanding to be found. All posters have the same frame type. The original posters were produced in various sizes and we conformed the frame to the original poster size. Twenty nine of the posters are signed by the creator of the poster artwork.”

This year’s poster as well as others will be available for purchase during at the 50^th annual Mount Dora Arts Festival on Feb 1 & 2, 2025 and in the gallery during the exhibit.
