The Toledo Bend Lake Association (TBLA) has commissioned artist Angela M. Osborn to create the 2023 Bass Unlimited Back-A-Great-Fighter poster. Angela is a local artist from Many, and her work can be seen in Sabine Parish at the Sabine Theater, Many Town Hall, Living the Dream Fishing Guide Service and Zwolle High School. She graduated from NSU with a degree in Fine Arts and has worked professionally as an artist with a focus on murals, commercial art and Louisiana landscapes. This year’s poster, sponsored by Community Bank of Louisiana, is titled “Richard’s Day Off” in honor of Angela’s uncle, an avid fisherman of Toledo Bend and major supporter of her artistic endeavors.
TBLA will be hosting the Poster Unveiling on Thursday, April 6, in the Ballroom at Cypress Bend Resort. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. with a cash bar and finger food. The framed original painting and #1 poster as well as artwork by Don Edwards and Eddie Pastureau will be auctioned by professional auctioneer Kevin McDonald. The signed and numbered posters can be pre-ordered now, and Angela will be present to personalize posters the evening of the event. This event is open to the public.
