The poster design draws inspiration from the diverse range of performing arts showcased at the event, focusing on the anticipation and excitement just before the curtain rises. Featuring an array of feet from various performers—musicians, dancers, actors, and more—positioned behind a curtain, the design captures the essence of different art forms converging on stage. This visual representation aims to evoke the thrill of the final moments before the performance begins, highlighting the unity and diversity of the artists. The inclusion of different footwear symbolizes the unique contributions each performer brings to the stage. The poster thus serves as a dynamic and engaging introduction to the event, promising a captivating experience for the audience.
