First Friday: How to Read a Poster with Melissa Walker

Friday, Dec 2, 2022
5:30–6:30pm

Join Poster House on the First Friday of every month for free admission and extended hours! Explore the museum’s latest exhibitions and get in on the fun by attending a tour, workshop, or activity throughout the day.  Every First Friday is different, offering unique opportunities to engage with rotating exhibitions and the permanent collection.

Posters are designed to communicate a message clearly and quickly, and, as such, are naturally easy to read. Poster connoisseurs, however, observe elements and references that the general public may miss. Join Collections Manager Melissa Walker for an in-depth tutorial on how to read a poster, featuring posters from upcoming exhibitions and the Poster House Permanent Collection. Learn to decode a poster and understand the secrets hidden just beneath the surface in this enlightening and entertaining program. Members, use your email address at check-out for 20% off admission.
