The 2025 Kentucky Derby Festival poster was created by artist Kim Perry. Her love for this state is her inspiration.  “I paint what I love about this great Commonwealth” says Perry, who has lived in Kentucky her entire life. “Kim’s genuine love for Kentucky inspired us and we know she’ll be a great ambassador of the Kentucky Derby Festival as the Official Poster Artist,” said Matt Gibson, Kentucky Derby Festival President & CEO.“

The Festival’s Official Poster Series is a tradition that has commemorated the fun and excitement of the Derby season since its inception in 1981.
