Longtime Sisters Folk Festival collaborator Dennis McGregor has retired from his role as the official poster artist, ushering in a new era of festival art. Bend-based painter, Sheila Dunn has stepped in to create the 2025 poster art featuring an unnamed musician performing in front of the glorious Mt. Jefferson.
Best known for her large-scale, vibrant oil paintings, Dunn is a celebrated artist whose work can be found scattered throughout Central Oregon in mural form and sold in many local galleries and shops.
Dunn received a BFA in painting and a minor in art history from Colorado State University and was recently selected by the US State Department to be a featured artist in the Art in the Embassies program, founded by the Museum of Modern Art and President Kennedy in 1963.
Much of her work explores the fluid relationship between figure and environment with colorful, fractured brushstrokes.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the poster art Dunn said, “Having been to the [Sisters] Folk Festival for years now, I love that time of night after the dinner break when the sun starts to set and the stars start to peek out and you know you’re in store for such a wonderful, fun night of music. I wanted to capture that almost ethereal, magic time of night in this painting.”
The 28th annual discovery music festival will feature more than 30 artists from all over the world representing many different genres of roots music with performances on seven stages throughout downtown Sisters, Oregon.
3-Day festival passes are available at the advance pricing of $235/ticket for adults and $90/ticket for youth ages 17 and under. Children under 5 attend for free. Single-day tickets will be available in July alongside the full performance schedule. All ticket prices include fees for maximum transparency.
Tickets are expected to sell out in advance once again and attendees are encouraged to purchase early. They can be purchased online at https://aftontickets.com/SFF2025.
