Langley artist work selected for festival campaign

Watch for the stunning artwork of Langley artist, Lizete Dureault in this year’s festival materials. 

Lizete’s original art piece was selected by the Festival art committee for its creativity, bold colours and representation of both the music and art side of the festival.

Her artwork will be featured in all Festival-branded materials including posters, program guide, website, social media, street banners, t-shirts and other collateral pieces.

“We would like to thank all of the artists who submitted their artwork for our recent Call for Artists,” said Dave Quinn, co-founder and artistic director for the festival. “We were so impressed by the number of submissions we received from across the Fraser Valley and the calibre of the artwork.”

Lizete is a contemporary artist residing and working full-time from her studio in Langley, BC. Her focus is painting still life art, primarily working with acrylics and mixed media. She also enjoys painting with oils and watercolours. Lizete has participated as one of two dozen feature artists with the Langley-based West Fine Arts Society in recent years and the Vancouver International "For Love of Art" exhibits since 2019.

“My inspiration for my submission was a visual study of instruments and sound experiences produced by my family members, friends and performers I have met.” said Lizete.

“I am excited to promote the early 20th Century cubism movement, my driving influence in how I approach most of my current work. My mission is to achieve unique stylized works, bold, imaginative statements of things I perceive and to capture the west coast lifestyle.

Along with her artwork being featured in festival materials, Lizete will receive a $750 honorarium for use of her artwork and be featured in an exhibit at the festival’s opening jazz concert on Thursday, July 20.
