Design for Social Impact, a local graphic design company, put together an extensive show of posters made by artists under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). It opened yesterday at the Thomas Eakins house (1727-29 Mount Vernon St.) The exhibit also includes screenprinted posters made by kids in the Mural Arts program. More info here. The exhibit was turned into a pretty gorgeous book published by Quirk (another local, in Old City).
Among the upcoming related events is a print extravaganza on Oct. 25 -- artists will teach silkscreening at six locations across the city; anyone who goes can make a poster.
