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. \n2–3pm: Fabric Collage Workshop \nJoin artist Mahdiyyah for a collage-poster workshop using upcycled textiles and inspired by the vibrant\, theatrical works of Boris Bućan. Drawing on Bućan’s celebrated\, large-format posters for the Croatian National Theatre\, you’ll explore how color\, form\, and symbolism can convey powerful messages. With repurposed fabric scraps and materials\, you’ll learn how to create a unique\, fabric-based poster while reflecting on Bućan’s incorporation of African motifs\, including masks and cultural references\, in his designs. In this hands-on\, guided process\, participants will try out a range of textile manipulation\, patchwork\, and collage techniques. Take home a one-of-a-kind textile piece that honors both artistic heritage and sustainable practice. \n3–4pm: Lester Beall Curatorial Tour \nJoin us for a curatorial tour of the acclaimed exhibition Lester Beall & A New American Identity\, the first to display all three of the poster series that Beall created for the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) over a five-year span during the New Deal era. In these groundbreaking posters\, he merged avant-garde influences with clear\, powerful messaging. Questions strongly encouraged! \n4–5pm: Mixed Media Portrait Workshop \nJoin us this Black History Month to celebrate creativity and storytelling through art. Honor someone special in your life by creating a meaningful mixed-media portrait that captures their essence using simple materials. Bring an image to use as a reference or to incorporate into your portrait for a personal touch. \nJara Montez is a Brooklyn-based artist and educator whose work draws inspiration from the bold\, simple style of children’s books. She uses limited materials to craft intentional\, mixed-media collages that capture the essence of her subjects. Passionate about amplifying underrepresented voices\, her latest project\, “The Vanguards\,” celebrates the achievements of Black women. \n5–6:30pm: He Got Game Movie Screening \nDon’t miss this screening of the acclaimed 1998 classic film “He Got Game” by Spike Lee!

SUMMARY:Members-Only Tour: Munich 1972
DESCRIPTION:Poster House members are invited to a private tour of the exhibition Munich 1972: Sports Posters of the XXth Olympic Games. Join Guest Curator Michael Beirut as he discusses the design program created for the 1972 Munich Olympics. Usually attributed to a single visionary creative director\, Otl Aicher\, the scheme was\, in fact\, produced by a team of designers who worked tirelessly on every detail of it for nearly six years. Their work for the event became an influential model not only for the design of subsequent sporting events but also for comprehensive identity programs of every kind. Together\, these posters demonstrate a magically calibrated balance of consistency and surprise\, control and power\, and precision and exuberance: no less than the athletes they celebrate. Light refreshments will be provided. \nAccessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is available upon request.

Light refreshments will be provided. \nAccessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available.
