Ithaca festival 2023 we are excited to return with our selected theme "planet ithaca."

The Ithaca Festival is seeking submissions for our annual design. Our mission is to celebrate the artist in everyone, and so each year we choose a design that best reflects our community and the theme for the year. The Ithaca Festival welcomes and encourages all artists regardless of race, gender, ability, or means, to submit work that truly reflects the beautiful diversity of our community.

This year’s theme is "Planet Ithaca."  We encourage you to explore any approach to your work and help us celebrate a bright and vibrant future. Wherever this idea takes you, is exactly what we are looking for. We will look for designs with color, vibrancy, and creativity.

Ithaca festival is free to the public. We help offset the cost of our festival programming with the sale of our buttons that will be $5. Look for the Jester hats and the Merch booths to show your support! We also will have some great festival merch on the site.  All purchases from the festival booths help support the underwriting of this fun community event.
