THE STORY BEHIND

Our 2022 Festival Artwork

We're proud to share our artwork for this year's festival and even prouder to share the story behind the art.

Artists from LADD partnered with Happen Inc.’s Breadwinners, an earn-and-learn program where teens meet weekly to share a meal, design and print their own t-shirts, and learn the basics of screen printing and running a small business. They met several times this spring to brainstorm ideas and consolidate the favorites into final design options. The final designs were then voted on by LADD artists and the OTR Film Festival Marketing Committee.

The Breadwinners are printing the t-shirts to earn money and will give a portion of the proceeds to support community-identified needs. We can’t wait to display their awesome art at the festival this July 7-10th!
