LOCAL WOMAN SELECTED TO DESIGN FIRST CLOTHESLINE FESTIVAL WEBSITE

This year for the very first time, attendees of the Memorial Art Gallery Clothesline Festival can prepare for a day of amazing art and culture by visiting the festival’s equally artistic website.

The site was designed by Jenna Fava Roote, creative director and owner of Jenna Fava Design, LLC as a tool for artists and festival-goers to easily stay informed. Site visitors will find everything needed to plan a trip to the festival; from hours and directions- to artists and musicians- all the happenings are highlighted on the page. Make sure to log on, print a map and to-do list before heading out the door!

While visiting the festival make sure to stop by Mrs. Roote’s display on the front lawn of the museum. An accomplished designer, she has also been chosen to showcase her own work at the festival, and will be highlighting her wine journals. Her pet project, Uncorked & Toasted - A Wine Journal, has been featured in several East Coast Wine Boutiques. The wine journals will be available for $10 – a special for the Clothesline Festival only – and will be accompanied by a card for 10% off a future design order.

Mrs. Roote is an Addy Award winning graphic designer, with clients around the country.
A corporate branding and marketing specialist, she has designed locally for Gauss Sales Company, Emerson Street, Geva Theatre Center, ABVI-Goodwill and The Arts and Cultural Council of Greater Rochester-just to name a few. Aside from corporate clients, Jenna Fava Design also creates custom designed stationery, luggage tags, gift enclosures, note pads and event invitations. So even if you aren't a business owner - there will surely be something creative to fit your needs. Samples will be on hand at the festival.

Learn more about Jenna Fava Roote in next week's issue of Insider Magazine, where Jenna will be featured for the second time.
