About the Poster Art
The 2012 original poster by Stephen St. Francis Decky.
Stephen St. Francis Decky is an artist and filmmaker from Northampton. His paintings and films have appeared in galleries and festivals nationally and internationally, and his short fiction has been published in several literary journals. He is currently working on his Masters Degree at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
The image for the First Night poster was taken from Decky's recent painting entitled The Constellation Song. The piece was "altered to better fit the occasion," he says. "It depicts a small group of elf-like girls in the midst of creating a living constellation, while singing simultaneously about themselves, each other, and the mysteries of the world around them."
A short, animated film featuring these characters is currently in production.
