2026 Poster
Meet our 2026 Poster Artist, Susan Anderton!
Crested Butte artist Susan Anderton has been part of the town’s creative heart for five decades. She designed the very first Crested Butte Wildflower Festival poster in 1987 and returns this year to create the artwork celebrating the Festival’s 40th anniversary. Known for her joyful use of color and her love of local landscapes, Susan’s work captures the beauty, energy, and spirit of Crested Butte in bloom. Over the years, Susan’s art has been featured in numerous regional exhibitions and collections, celebrating the landscapes and wildflowers that continue to inspire her creative journey.
A member of the Paragon Gallery, Susan has exhibited her paintings and prints alongside other local artists and helped nurture the valley’s vibrant arts scene. She has contributed her time and talents to community arts efforts, including leadership roles with the Crested Butte Arts Festival. Through her art and community involvement, Susan continues to inspire both residents and visitors to see the wild beauty of Crested Butte.
Thank you, Susan, for coming back as our special 40th anniversary poster artist! We are honored to have you!
Underwriting Sponsors
Thank You to Our 2026 Poster Underwriters, Carmen & Craig Alexander!
“It’s hard to believe but Craig and I have been involved with the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival (CBWF) for over 10 years now. We look forward to all of the festival events, and we especially enjoy the ‘up-close’ members’ only events. It’s amazing to hear, first hand, from scientists who are conducting groundbreaking research. Connecting with other members who share that enthusiasm is also a highlight! And what could possibly be more magical than hiking across a wildflower meadow on Rustler’s Gulch or capturing the perfect shot of a Fairy Slipper or Mariposa Lily in full bloom?
We are genuinely delighted to again have the opportunity to underwrite the 2026 CBWF poster. Advocating for the appreciation and preservation of wildflowers anywhere is a worthy endeavor. We are honored to support the CBWF and to join with so many others to educate, inform, and preserve the natural beauty and majesty of such a special place – Crested Butte!” -Carmen Day-Alexander
