More about the event:
Grandfather of Kenwood School students, Brianna and Dakota Borgfeldt, Wes Wilson has generously donated his support to the Kenwood Education Foundation by designing “Lady Luck Smiles on Kenwood,” for their Lights, Camera, Auction! 2009 poster. The original artwork will be sold at live auction. Collectible signed prints will also be available for sale.

Wes Wilson pioneered the rock concert poster aesthetic of the late 1960s. Best known for designing posters for The Fillmore Theater in San Francisco, he invented a style that is now synonymous with the peace movement and the psychedelic art of the 1960s. Wes continues to work as an artist and his pieces, particularly those bearing his signature, are highly sought after by collectors of poster art. The Denver Art Museum currently offers a temporary exhibit, The Psychedelic Experience: Rock Posters from the San Francisco Bay Area 1965-1971, in which a great many pieces of his work are included.

Take a trip back in time with this once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate an era and remember that, like all “Flower Children,” today’s kids need a well-rounded education if they are to fully blossom. Our children are indeed our future.
