The Fine Art Fair is coming to the
Peoria Riverfront September 27-29, 2019!
We are so pleased to announce this years poster Artist!
Brian Jensen, was selected as this year’s Fine Art Fair poster artist whose work will be featured on marketing materials and on the community mural at the Peoria Art Guild’s Fine Art Fair September 27 through September 29. It’s a tough task for us to select an artist because we are choosing from 130 outstanding artists and their beautiful works of art.This year we fell in love with Brian’s work and asked him if he would create a piece just for us.
And he did. The work features Peoria landmarks surrounding the Riverfront and we couldn’t be more excited. Brian Jensen, a native of Minnesota, started painting and drawing at a young age learning from his father a graphic designer. After graduating from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, he went on to a career as an illustrator.
Today he
has a studio in northeast Minneapolis.
