Coca-Cola Santa Claus Art Exhibit

As part of the holiday festivities, Jazz at Lincoln Center will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the modern-day image of Santa. The modern-day image of Santa Claus - based on a painting commissioned by Coca-Cola - turns 75 this holiday season. Legendary illustrator Haddon Sundblom created the rosy-cheeked figure - today's traditionally accepted appearance of the jolly old elf - in 1931 for a Coke holiday advertising campaign. In total, Sundblom created more than 40 pieces that feature the Coca-Cola Santa, which has become one of the most beloved cultural icons and an anticipated part of holiday tradition.

To mark the 75th anniversary, from December 1, 2006 through January 2, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall, Coca-Cola is presenting a free public exhibit featuring a wide selection of Sundblom's original paintings from the Coca-Cola Santa collection. View them at the Peter Jay Sharp Arcade at Frederick P. Rose Hall or online by touring a virtual gallery at www.mycokerewards.com.
