CYFEST Poster Artist 2024
Maggie Davis
Maggie Davis dreamed of being an artist from a very early age. She attended Immaculate Conception and won many awards while in school. She was a winner in such competitions as the Memphis Grizzlies Fan Art Contest as well as the MLK 50th Anniversary Art Contest. Maggie acknowledges that she is a self-taught artist who has received exceptional support from the Midtown community to expand her talent i.e. creating designs for shirts, posters, murals and books.
Maggie lives in Midtown and has worked for Aldo’s Pizza Pies for the last three years as a bartender and server. Her art is inspired by the beauty that can be found in every human’s emotion, body, story and the world around. Maggie will be our youngest poster artist ever selected and we simply can’t wait to see the spirit of the Cooper Young Festival through her eyes!
