2016 Fantasy Fest Poster Artist Named Fantasy Fest Queen

Meet Jane at the Official Poster Signing Party Tues, 10/25

October 24, 2016 (KEY WEST, FL) – This is Jane Rohrschneider’s year. Local artist Jane Rohrschneider, who is also known as “Key West Jane,” is this year’s Fantasy Fest poster artist,– and this weekend she also became Fantasy Fest Queen, being named of the two top fundraisers for AIDS Help’s annual Fantasy Fest royalty campaign.

Jane is joined in this year’s Fantasy Fest Royal Court by King Christopher Rounds, Duchess Kristen Livengood and Duke Tommy Ryan. Collectively, the court raised more than $368,000 during the annual 8-week Fantasy Fest royalty campaign, which benefits AIDS Help of Monroe County, Inc.

The Fantasy Fest King and Queen will serve as the Grand Marshals of the 2016 Fantasy Fest parade with the goal of helping to raise awareness that HIV/AIDs remains a critical public health threat. There are about 1.2 million people living with HIV in the U.S., and Monroe County has seen a sharp increase in new cases this year, with 22 new HIV diagnoses in the first six months of 2016.

Prior to the parade, Fantasy Fest revelers can meet Jane at the Official Poster Signing party, Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 5 PM at WineO, located at La Concha Hotel & Spa at 430 Duval St. The party, which is fee to attend, will serve as the official unveiling of the 2016 Fantasy Fest poster, which features an image in which a majestic and slightly menacing woman casts Voodoo spells on City Hall, as well as other elements that display an inspired interpretation of this year’s theme: Political Voodoo & Ballot Box Barbarians. Signed posters will be available for purchase.
