“Playful & Full of Movement” For Newtown Arts Festival

Calling his work “playful and full of movement,” the work of Newtown resident Jason Lynch has been chosen as the signature art for the 2026 Newtown Art Festival,  set for September 18-20 this year. “For the poster,” he has said, “I wanted something playful and full of movement, something that captured the energy of the festival at a glance.” The art will be available on posters and T-shirts at the festival.

With so much going on in the signature art, the poster reminds one of the energy of a full three-ring circus with one art intertwining with the others. “This let me show multiple aspects of the festival,” Jason added, “While keeping everything connected visually.”

A graduate of the Rocky Mountain College of Arts & Design, Jason grew up in Colorado. After freelancing and working across editorial, publishing, and advertising, he moved to New York and studied graphic design at the School of Visual Arts. He is currently Lead Brand Designer at IBM.
