SUMMARY:First Friday
DESCRIPTION:Join Poster House on the First Friday of every month for free admission and extended hours! Museum Members can check in at the Info Desk to receive one free drink ticket to use at the bar from 6 – 9 PM. Explore the museum’s latest exhibitions and get in on the fun by attending a tour\, workshop\, performance\, or activity throughout the day. Every First Friday is different\, offering unique opportunities to engage with rotating exhibitions and the permanent collection. \n12—1:30pm: Minimal Blooms\, Maximum Impact: A Floral Design Workshop – $10 \nIn honor of the flower-filled posters of Lorenzo Homar\, Poster House is hosting an exciting floral design workshop. Discover the beauty of simplicity in this hands-on activity that proves less truly can be more. Participants will learn how to create elegant\, eye-catching arrangements using just a few floral elements—perfect for sprucing up your space\, celebrating special moments\, or simply enjoying fresh blooms. \nUnder the guidance of Matt Zaccari\, a florist and gardening expert focused on sustainability\, guests will discover how to utilize seasonal flowers and greenery to create three eye-catching arrangements: a hand-tied bouquet\, a minimalist centerpiece\, and a bold structural design featuring branches. \nWhether you’re a home entertainer\, a DIY decorator\, or just someone who loves flowers\, this session will empower you to design with confidence\, creativity\, and a budget in mind. All materials are included—and yours to take home! This program is suitable for attendees over the age of 8. \n1—7pm: Paper Petals & Peace: An Origami Workshop – $10 \nAs part of Poster House’s ongoing partnership with Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop\, the museum is thrilled to host a daylong origami-making event in the Poster History Timeline. Aimed at balancing participants’ minds and bodies while encouraging interpersonal connection\, this hands-on activity will use natural materials\, including washi paper\, to create delicate works of art. Guests will learn how to fold cranes and kusudama flowers out of dyed paper.  \nAll ages and skill levels are welcome. Be prepared to unleash creativity and take home a handmade creation! \nThe Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (RBPMW) is a dynamic community print studio that honors the legacy of pioneering artist and master printmaker Robert Blackburn (1920–2003). Founded in the spirit of inclusivity and artistic excellence\, RBPMW provides a supportive\, collaborative space for artists of all backgrounds to explore and expand their printmaking practice. \n2—4pm: Subway Insides Workshop: The Ink Explosion of the 1980s – $15 \nMany people are familiar with the colorful cartoon-laden logotypes and abstract masterpieces that adorned the exteriors of New York City subway cars throughout the 1970s and ’80s. However\, unless you were a straphanger yourself during that time\, you are probably not aware that the interiors of the subway cars were also completely covered with bold signatures of every size written with homemade fountain pens and magic markers. This chiseled-script calligraphy dripped and ran over every available space inside the subway cars between about 1970 and 1989. In his photographs from this era\, Richard Sandler captured New Yorkers amidst this visual chaotic energy\, which he likens to free jazz or the semblance of thoughts within the minds of his subjects.   \nHosted in honor of From the Bronx to the Battery: The Subway Sun\, this workshop will discuss and look back at this little-studied phenomenon that was once a large part of the city’s aesthetic and can be seen in countless movies from Saturday Night Fever to Coming to America. Visitors will look at examples and create their own tag-covered image on a subway interior template\, using chisel- and broad-nibbed markers to mimic this time-honored practice. You can take home your piece on glossy cardstock at the end of the workshop.  \nThis is not a drop-in workshop. Please plan on arriving on time and staying for the duration of the event. Appropriate for participants ages 13 and up.  \nSam Meyerson is a visual designer who grew up studying and practicing within the “Graffiti Art” movement. He has a deep affinity for the subway\, and for the youth-oriented folk-art forms of graffiti that turned public urban environments into museums. He has painted murals for BEYOND THE STREETS and designed apparel for Supreme. He currently lives in NYC\, where he works as a freelance artist in several capacities and mediums. \n4–5pm: Spanish-language Tour of Puerto Rico in Print \nLorenzo Homar was one of Puerto Rico’s most influential graphic designers and is often referred to as the father of the Puerto Rican poster.
