The 1985 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival poster is a silkscreen print by local artist George Rodrigue. The poster features Rodrigue's signature "Blue Dog" character playing the saxophone. The poster is considered to be one of the most iconic images of the festival and is highly sought after by collectors.
The 1985 festival was held on April 26-28 at the New Orleans Fair Grounds Race Course. The festival featured a wide range of jazz, blues, and other musical acts, including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, B.B. King, and Bonnie Raitt.
The 1985 poster was printed in a limited edition of 5,000 copies. The posters were sold at the festival and at local art galleries. The posters have become increasingly valuable over the years and are now considered to be collector's items.
