Rock Paper PDX, presented by the Peoples Art of Portland Gallery, will return for a month-long exhibit of rock music poster art beginning with a First Thursday reception in Antoinette Hatfield Hall on Oct. 4, 2012, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Seven local artists, all recognized leaders in the music industry for their poster graphic design and imagery supporting national acts, will showcase their work. A wide range of styles and craftsmanship will be displayed, from hand-drawn 1960s-era psychedelic posters to album covers for modern bands such as Radiohead and Pearl Jam.
The artists on exhibit are Dan Stiles, David D'Andrea, EMEK, Gary Houston, Guy Burwell, Justin Hampton and Lee Zeman.
"The Rock Paper PDX exhibit is expected to be another smashing success," said Robyn Williams, executive director of the Portland Center for the Performing Arts. "Their show was wildly popular last year and we’re thrilled they are returning for another run."
"Opening our venue to local artists such as those with the Peoples Art of Portland is important to our overall mission of increasing access to and interest in the local arts scene," Williams said.
Rock Paper PDX begins October 4 and runs through the 31st in the main floor lobby of Antoinette Hatfield Hall, located at 1111 SW Broadway St. in Portland.
