2026 New Orleans Book Festival Poster by Francis X. Pavy

Introducing the Official 2026 New Orleans Book Festival Poster, an original work by acclaimed Louisiana artist Francis X. Pavy. Known for his richly layered, narrative-driven style, Pavy’s art is deeply rooted in the folklore, architecture and cultural tapestry of South Louisiana.

This limited-edition poster features a striking scene of a reader silhouetted on a wrought-iron balcony at sunset, overlooking a dreamlike New Orleans skyline. Pavy's artwork evokes the magic, mystery and creativity of the Crescent City. The poster also features custom hand-crafted lettering designed by the artist’s daughter, Annabelle Pavy, adding a unique typographic element that beautifully complements the visual style.

Printed on Ultra White Royal Sundance Felt Cover, the piece benefits from the paper’s luxurious texture and crisp white tone, enhancing the artwork’s depth and detail.

There are 2 options for the 2026 poster:

• 18" x 24" poster print
• 8" x 10" art print
