Ketchikan-based artist Savannah LeCornu was recently selected as this year’s poster artist for the Alaska Folk Festival in Juneau. The annual spring event seeks art submissions from Alaska creatives for festival merchandise, including its promotional poster. 

KRBD sat down with LeCornu to discuss how the opportunity will help expand representation of Indigenous artists throughout Alaska.
