Artist Sabrina Steuber of Huntsville, winner of the fest poster design contest, posted that she was happy the fest was not cancelled after the announcement. “I’m glad to hear it’s been rescheduled, I can still celebrate winning the poster competition & experience the festival,” she wrote.
Steuber considers Gulf Shores her second home, as her family visits every fall. She was also one of the winners of Turtle Tracks, a local public art project dedicated to bringing awareness and support to Alabama Gulf Coast environmental conservation, sustainable tourism, and community arts & culture. She designed a turtle sculpture that is on display permanently at The Beach Club.
The Turtle Tracks Art on Parade program sought out original designs for the Bale of Turtles that was released in and around Gulf Shores. The program was coordinated by the Gulf Coast Arts Alliance & Gallery, located at 225 E 24th St. in Gulf Shores.
