Poster Design Brief

We need a poster the the 47th Annual University District StreetFair to be held May 21-22, 2016. It's the longest running festival of its kind in the United States. In 1970, community leaders established the StreetFair to heal our community after protests, street riots, and violence disrupted the community. Originally a blanket-vending event with lots of free live music, the University District StreetFair has become a regional event that features handmade products by individual artists and craftsmen. In celebration of the international flavor of our community, we invite food vendors to participate along with our many local restaurants to present an around-the-world culinary experience.
Seattle’s first modern street fair was held on May 23-24, 1970. Police closed University Way NE to traffic from NE 50th Street to 41st Street and turned over “The Ave” to 300 vendors and artists who catered to over 50,000 visitors during the weekend. The University District StreetFair was the brainchild of Andy Shiga (1919-1993), a Japanese American merchant in the U District and longtime pacifist, assisted by Safeco executive Ron Denchfield.
The success of the first University District StreetFair was all the more remarkable given the social and political tensions of the time. Riots had divided the U District community on several nights in August of 1969 and only weeks earlier thousands of UW students had protested the United States invasion of Cambodia and the killings of four demonstrating students at Kent State.
The proposal to close University Way NE was greeted with much skepticism by area businesses, but the fair proved to be a tremendous success. The University District StreetFair has inspired other Seattle neighborhoods to stage similar events in their business districts. The event is currently presented by The U District Partnership a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
