The Oregon Country Fair is an outdoor music and cultural festival that has been held for more than 50 years in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The main themes of the fair are music, performance, and stewardship of the land. I created a series of three posters for this event from 2022-2024 that center around these themes and feature native species that live on the land of the Oregon Country Fair site. This final poster in the series depicts the event underway, with the reclining fox in the shady tree canopy above the loud and dusty parade on the path representing the dual sides of the event, where some come for rest and relaxation and some come for high excitement. This poster centers urban wildlife species like foxes, coyotes, and raccoons that are associated with revels and mischief.
