2016 FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL POSTER
The 2016 poster features an image of an original oil painting by 99-year old Hannibal artist Len Moss. The image captures festival
dancers entertaining the festival crowd in a typical street scene during the annual event. One of the dancers, Jean Vincent, has been
involved with the festival since its first year, as has Moss. The Hannibal Arts Council thought it a worthy tribute to both individuals’
dedication to the festival to use the painting image which so fondly sums up the fun, tradition and foundation of the festival in
Hannibal.
