When considering the making this year’s poster, an homage to the Capitola Wharf, Tori Schweyer was the first to come to mind.
She “got” the concept of the split screen and executed it with such a happy feeling! The runners are crossing the finish line, the wharf is rebuilt above, & the marine life, (including 841 & her pup) are frolicking in the water below.
It depicts the end of this fun, local race from a rare viewpoint.
Her original 14 3/8 x 21 5/8 watercolor will be at York Framing Gallery in Santa Cruz for viewing, as well as at the York booth at the race’s end.
Two options are available: Regular poster paper, $25; limited edition, heavier paper, $50.
This year, $1 of every sale will be donated to the beautification of the Capitola Wharf, also known as the Capitola Wharf Enhancement Project.
