Chris James, owner of Heavy Color, a design and screen printing company in 7 Points in Florence, designed the poster (see attached).“For the 30th anniversary of the event, I depicted the bridge which joins both sides of the river,” said James. It was also announced that 100 vendors will be displaying their works at Arts Alive, which is set for May 21–22 in Wilson Park and the Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts. This is the largest number of vendors in the event’s 30–year history. James and other 7 Points artists will be featured at the event for the first time.
