Sasquatch! Posters! Exhibition
THE CONCEPT- A select group of graphic designers were invited to produce limited edition “artist feature” posters for the 2008 Sasquatch! Music Festival at The Gorge. Why? To support, invigorate, and create opportunities for the burgeoning poster design community.
THE PROCESS - This was a “first come, first serve” selection process. Participants in this invitational included a broad range of designers and artists; award-winning studios, individual established designers, illustrators and even students. The result reflects the spirit of the festival itself, a showcase of talent from legendary international headliners to the grassroots Northwest music scene. THE EVENT- This event in Seattle will showcase all of the prints produced by the 70-plus designers invited to participate. It is a chance for the public to get a preview of the artists featured, the designers themselves to meet and “talk shop”, and for everyone to celebrate the contemporary design and music community.
