2026 Well Wishes and Dirty Dishes

2026 Cherry Creek Arts Festival commemorative poster of mixed media work created by Bennett of Atlanta, GA.

The 2026 featured artwork by Bennett, Well Wishes and Dirty Dishes, captures the layered dynamics of gathering and connection with warmth, humor, and a touch of candor.

Rooted in the spirit of community, the piece evokes shared moments, potlucks, and chosen gatherings, making it a fitting tribute to a festival held over the Fourth of July. It reflects both the joy of coming together and the unspoken rhythms of hosting, where generosity and boundaries coexist. As Bennett shares, she envisions “a world where we are always willing to make a bigger table rather than excluding others; everyone is welcome.” At the same time, the piece carries playful honesty, the familiar moment when hospitality meets its limits: “thanks for coming, but it’s 9 p.m., and it might be time to head out.”

Blending influences of mid-century advertising with acrylic and photographic elements, Bennett renders the work in a bold, pop-inspired aesthetic on wood. The result is a visually engaging and relatable celebration of togetherness, one that invites viewers to see themselves and their own gatherings reflected within it.
