International Poster Exhibition

7-9pm (everyone else is welcome from 9-11pm)

Student Members: See POWER IN NUMBERS on a Night Just for You
What better way to enjoy POWER IN NUMBERS, the international poster exhibition, than on a night held just for students? AIGA Chicago will host Student Member Night on March 19 from 7-9pm. Alongside the captivating work, a number of student groups will be on hand to talk about ongoing opportunities for design scholars. We’ll be providing food and beverages (non-adult—sorry!). All we ask is that you log in and then register in advance.

Event Overview:
Power In Numbers is an international poster exhibition showcasing the work of over forty contemporary designers, illustrators, and printmakers. Participating artists have been asked to create a poster exploring their perspectives on multiplicity, ubiquity, and collectivism in contemporary poster design.

Power in Numbers addresses working in multiples and how posters are able to reach a wider audience through their innate accessibility. Posters are omnipresent within present day culture, making us both aware and oblivious to their presence. They have the ability to persuade, inform, enlighten, and even entertain. By uniting a diverse group of creative disciplines through one common medium, Power In Numbers strives to capture the global temperature of today’s leading poster design.
