SUMMARY:First Friday
DESCRIPTION:Join Poster House on the First Friday of every month for free admission and extended hours!

Every First Friday is different\, offering unique opportunities to engage with rotating exhibitions and the permanent collection. Every First Friday is different–check back soon for a complete list of activities. \nLive Letterpress Printing $10 1-7pm\nMake your own poster with The Arm! Stop by the museum anytime between 1 and 7pm to crank out a custom poster on a traditional letterpress printer!

Join this hands-on workshop to learn the basics of bookbinding using recycled materials inspired by Poster House’s acclaimed exhibition We Tried to Warn You! Environmental Crisis Posters\, 1970–2020.

No previous experience necessary; all materials provided.  \nArt Deco curatorial tour: 4pm\nJoin Poster House Chief Curator Angelina Lippert for a guided tour of the acclaimed exhibition Art Deco: Commercializing the Avant-Garde. This show chronicles the rise and fall of what would come to be known as Art Deco\, starting with the 1925 Paris Exhibition where various factions of the European avant-garde were distilled through commercial endeavors to become the visual language of capitalism\, and ending as Deco graphics became more nationalistic in the lead up to World War II.
