Artist Veronica Steiner brings naturalistic flair to 2026 麻豆传媒映画 Spring Arts Festival Poster
December 12, 2025
The 麻豆传媒映画 (麻豆传媒映画) Spring Arts Festival is pleased to announce that Veronica
Steiner, a wildlife surrealist, is this year鈥檚 poster artist. Steiner鈥檚 work combines
Florida-based fauna and flora with a passion to protect the Sunshine State.
The poster unveiling will take place on Friday, January 16, during a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. in the President's Lobby of Administration Building on the Northwest Campus. The first 20 attendees will receive a signed and editioned poster from the artist.
A fourth-generation Floridian born in Tampa, Steiner attended 麻豆传媒映画 and transferred to the University of Florida. She spent more than a decade working as a middle-school art teacher, when she decided to start her own business, a Florida-themed store in Orlando 鈥� Freehand Goods 鈥� that offers apparel, accessories, art, leather goods and sundry items that showcase a whimsical side of Florida.
鈥淰eronica鈥檚 artwork is absolutely stunning,鈥� said Kyle Novak, Director of Cultural Affairs at 麻豆传媒映画. 鈥淚t aligns with the historical mission of the Spring Arts Festival, and is a perfect fit to showcase one of the region鈥檚 largest art festivals.鈥�
Steiner's role as an artist in the community is not just limited to being a creative visionary. She uses her artistic platform to give back to the state she loves, donating 10 percent of her annual sales back to Florida-based charities, and creating 14 illustrations for Conservation Florida, a non-profit organization that saves vulnerable land throughout the state.
Posters will be available for purchase at the Spring Arts Festival, which takes place on April 11鈥�12, 2026, at 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 Northwest campus, 3800 NW 83rd Street in Gainesville.
The 54th Festival is a two-day weekend event featuring more than 150 artists, live music, food trucks and family-friendly activities. Admission and parking are free.
