American College Towns: Roanoke, VA
2024 By Douglass Cole, Joel Anderson
About the Art
Those who have traveled to this beautiful city in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia will never forget the experience. The town is known for many of its aesthetic and joyous features, including the Roanoke Star, a neon landmark overlooking the city from the summit of Mill Mountain. The city’s downtown features the Taubman Museum of Art which highlights work by American artists like Thomas Eakins and John Singer Sargent. Roanoke is also known for its rich heritage of higher education. Some of the local colleges and universities include Hollins University, Radford University, Roanoke College, and the Roanoke Higher Education Center. Inspired by the aesthetic beauty of Roanoke and its historic roots as a college town, Anderson Design Group’s award-winning poster artists created an original illustration of Roanoke, crafted in the style of vintage poster art and retro travel art. You can order this retro-styled artwork as a framed print, poster print, canvas, mini-canvas, metal sign, or as a set of notecards or postcards.
Our gorgeous art prints are made-to-order on high-fidelity 9-color presses. Printed on gallery-grade archival paper, each work of art is hand-trimmed, rolled, and shipped in a protective tube. Each print features an original illustration by the talented, award-winning artists of Anderson Design Group.
