We’re inviting artists to submit original digital artwork inspired by the magic, flavor, maritime charm, and community spirit of Coupeville’s beloved festival.
Over the years, the mermaid has become an iconic Musselfest emblem, and we encourage artists to explore a mermaid-focused theme in their designs. Past posters have featured bold, whimsical merfolk and coastal imagery that have become treasured pieces of Musselfest history.
The selected artwork will become the featured visual identity for Musselfest 2027 and will be used throughout festival promotions, marketing materials, social media, merchandise, and advertising campaigns.

“When I think of CHWA, I think of ‘community.’ I joined the CHWA Board because I love this Town and support the mission and purpose of this organization. CHWA plays a critical role in the vitality and health of our historic downtown and is always searching for ways to do things better, while preserving the past. As an accredited Washington Main Street Community, CHWA is working to ensure that the unique qualities, traditions, and amazing people of Coupeville are cared for and celebrated.”
