This Must-See Week, join Poster House for a special preview of the upcoming exhibition The Definition of Art Chantry: Seattle’s Visual Voice, where guests will have the exclusive opportunity to see posters not included in the show!
Against the backdrop of late-20th-century Seattle, graphic designer Art Chantry developed a visual language that captured the city’s flourishing cultural scene in the wake of economic discord. Combining hand-rendered designs with witty phrases and nostalgic references, Chantry created a singular visual vocabulary for his posters that promoted the Emerald City’s culture to both a local and a growing national audience.
Poster House’s Assistant Curator of Collections Es-pranza Humphrey and Collections Specialist Alex Stern will guide attendees through a selection of Chantry’s work from the Poster House Permanent Collection, providing insights on Chantry’s career, the collections process, and the curatorial decisions that went into building this exhibition.
