Buckey Awards Poster Image!!

The amazing Robert Carnahan designed this year's Buckey Awards poster. Here's the central graphic for the poster, featuring an image of the Rough Rider bronze on Courthouse Square taken when Buckey O'Neill, our namesake, had recently left this world.

But he left behind a rich tradition of collaborationist, small town creatives with a lead, follow or get the heck out of the way attitude. We salute you, Buckey, and we thank you, Mr. Carnahan.

Look for this poster to appear around Yavpai County and on this blog very soon!

See you March 10th at the Elks Opera House for the 2nd Annual Buckey Awards for Excellence in the Arts!
