Creating Community: Event Posters for AIGA NY
November 16, 2023–April 14, 2024
This exhibition highlights the full range of events hosted by AIGA NY from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. It chronicles the evolving state of the graphic design field, from the analog to the dawn of the digital age and beyond. Featured are some of the 20th century’s most important and notable practitioners who either designed the posters on view or participated in the many panels, discussions, presentations, and events organized by AIGA NY—all of which was done on a volunteer basis in order to promote and elevate the field of graphic design.
This exhibition comes to Poster House through a generous loan from AIGA NY.
