Hi Robbie,
Have you heard of the "Blind Willie Festival"? I'm sending you a link to the
page that features some of their posters. It's held every year in Thomson,
Georgia.

I also spoke with my co-workers who made some suggestions too.

If they are interested in historical rock music festival posters, then
I'd connect the curators to Joseph Johnston at the Georgia Music Hall of
Fame http://www.gamusichall.com/home.html

Subject: New Harmonies - SITES Seeking Posters from Local Music Festivals
Everyone,
For next MoMS exhibition, New Harmonies, we are planning to feature a
section on the importance of music festivals in the development of the 1950s
and 1960s revival of folk music. Our designer would like to create a
"wallpaper" effect featuring posters from folk/roots music festivals. We
would be very interested in obtaining posters from traditional music
festivals in your states for use in the exhibition. If you know of a great
local roots music festival that produces posters or flyers, please let me
know.
Thanks!
Robbie
