Poster Kids: Gel-Plate Printing
2025-10-19 10:30 - 12:00

Spanish-language Tour of Blazing A Trail: Dorothy Waugh’s National Parks Posters
2025-10-19 15:00 - 16:00, 2025-11-16 15:00 - 16:00
Join Poster House for a Spanish-language tour of Blazing A Trail: Dorothy Waugh’s National Parks Posters.
Dorothy Waugh, whose posters encouraging Americans to travel to the National Parks during the New Deal era have often been overlooked, effectively transformed the image of these officially protected landscapes. Between 1934 and 1936, she designed 17 bold posters that gave the National Park Service its own style, one that clearly distinguished it from those of the railroad companies that dominated domestic travel advertising at the time. Her groundbreaking work marked a turning point in American graphic design, and on this tour you’ll get a close look at the entire series along with archival materials that reveal the story behind their creation.

Poster House le invita a participar en una visita guiada de «Trazando un camino: Dorothy Waugh y sus afiches de los parques nacionales».
Dorothy Waugh, cuyos afiches diseñados para animar a la población estadounidense a conocer los parques nacionales y que han sido frecuentemente soslayados, logró transformar decisivamente la imagen de estos paisajes protegidos por el Estado durante la era del «New Deal». Entre 1934 y 1936 diseñaría 17 llamativos afiches para dar un estilo propio al Servicio de Parques Nacionales, distinguiéndolo así claramente de la publicidad de viajes por los EE. UU., dominada hasta entonces por las compañías ferroviarias de la época. Su innovador trabajo marcaría un punto de inflexión en el diseño gráfico nacional; en esta visita guiada podrá admirar de cerca toda la serie, junto con materiales de archivo que revelan la historia detrás de su creación.

Accessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available.
