The National Cherry Blossom Festival has announced that the 2010 Festival Artwork has been selected. The piece (seen above) was created by Junko Yamada of Jackson Heights, NY.
The artwork will be seen on official merchandise when the National Cherry Blossom Festival arrives on March 27 and concludes on April 11. Grandstand ticket seating for the parade is already on sale for those who can’t wait. Also of note is a new collectible holiday ornament, hand-painted by artist Otella Brantmier.
Just a little touch of spring for those of you already chilled by winter.
Having lived in the DC area for ten years, Ben still loves to wander the city with his wife, shooting lots of photos and exploring all the latest exhibits and galleries. A certified hockey fanatic, he spends some time debating the Washington Capitals club with friends – but everyone knows of his three decade love affair with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
A professional writer, gamer, photographer, and Lego enthusiast, Ben remains captivated by DC and doesn’t plan on leaving any time soon.
It’s beautiful. What a nice reminder that we will see spring again in DC! I’m also from Jackson Heights, so that’s fun too!
