Members: Attend Opening Night of POWER IN NUMBERS and Continue the Conversation Afterward
On Friday, March 11, all AIGA Chicago members are invited to Opening Night of POWER IN NUMBERS, an international poster exhibition showcasing the work of over forty contemporary designers, illustrators, and printmakers. Following the event, AIGA Chicago will be organizing an after-hours meetup to continue the conversation and keep the social energy (and drinks) flowing.

Opening Night begins at 7pm, and as the evening progresses we’ll gather at Simone’s, 960 W. 18th Street (http://simonesbar.com). House-selected beers will be available for $4—a small price to pay, considering the spirited camaraderie that’s sure to ensue. We’ll see you there.

Power In Numbers:
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.
