2026 Poster Reveal
|
Presented by the Starkville Area Arts Council (SAAC) and the Cotton District Arts Festival (CDAF) Committee, we are excited to bring this historic festival back to the Cotton District this spring, highlighting the tremendous talent of local and regional artisans, local food vendors and food trucks, and musicians.
This is CDAF's 40th Year, so the celebratory vibes will be in the air and there will be fun for everyone! The CDAF Committee is excited to reveal the Official #CDAF2025 poster, chosen over a dozen student submissions to our annual contest in Mississippi State University graphic design classes taught by Suzanne Powney. Congratulations to the 2026 Cotton District Arts Festival poster competition winning artist, Kelsey Coriell! The festival is set for April 18, 2026, from 9 am to 3 pm in the historic Cotton District. Due to ongoing construction in the District, we will have to make changes to the layout, and we will share updates as we figure things out. In the meantime, be sure to get your applications in. Navigate to the applications tab to learn more and apply. For questions about the festival, feel free to contact us. |
