Painter Roger Mason Returns For The Third Time As The Festival Artist

Returning for his third year (2003, 2013, 2024) as the painting artist, Roger Masons present the latest installment for Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. He created the artwork for the 10th, 20th and now the 30th annual posters. If you don’t know the name Roger Mason, you should. You can spot him a mile away, he’s the guy on Telluride's Main Street from time to time standing next to an easel, brandishing brushes, resembling a dressed up Jackson Pollock, with spattered paint all over his denim overalls.
