July 12, 2024 | Goleta, CA: The late Chris Potter is named as the local artist featured on this year’s official NatureTrack Film Festival (NTFF) poster at a special event on Thursday, July 11th at 4:00 pm at Camino Real Cinemas in Goleta.
This year’s NTFF poster will feature artwork by the late renowned local artist Chris Potter with a portrait of ‘Potters Point’, the bluffs recently renamed in Potter’s honor by the city of Goleta.
The poster will be revealed by Potter’s wife, Julie Beaumont Potter alongside NTFF Managing Director Gareth Kelly and notable VIPs from the Goleta Community.
“Chris and I have always loved to support local non-profits,” said Beaumont Potter. “When the NatureTrack Film Festival reached out to me, it was an honor to have them use the portrait by Chris of his favorite spot for their poster. What Chris cherished the most was Nature!”
The poster reveal took place on Thursday, July 11th at 4:00 pm at Camino Real Cinemas at the Camino Real Marketplace in Goleta – the newly announced home of this year’s festival.
“We couldn’t think of a better image for this year’s poster than Potter’s point,” Kelly added. “We know Chris meant so much to the local community and we’re thrilled to honor his life and his work in this way”.
