2017 Wooden Boat Festival Poster by Nikki McClure

2017 Wooden Boat Festival Poster

$12.00 Sale

Our 2017 Wooden Boat Festival poster is here!

This year’s poster was created by renowned paper cut artist and author Nikki McClure, and is locally printed on FSC-certified Kraft paper. The poster is deeply connected with our mission to engage people of all generations in maritime life, in a spirit of adventure and discovery. 

McClure's artwork captures the beginning of her son’s relationship with the ocean, and a passion for boats that was passed down from her own lifelong connection to the water. The boats sailing in the distance are the Adventuress, Nevermore, and Bucephalus—all chosen for their stories of adventure and dreaming.
