The poster for the seventh annual Wheaton Arts Parade & Festival will be based on a design submitted by Fernando Santiago, a Silver Spring artist and resident.
As the winner of poster contest, he will receive a cash prize of $500 donated by IHOP Wheaton. The poster contest was open to all residents of Montgomery County.
After Mr. Santiago’s artwork was selected, Wheaton arts parade designer Josue Martinez of Corinto Gallery incorporated it into the design for the poster and T-shirt.
At the end of the art parade, the community gathers at a festival of performances, art exhibits and food.
