Poster Kids: Push Pin and Play

Join Poster House on the last Sunday morning of every month, from 9:15–10:15am for a family-friendly, interactive, virtual poster tour and a related art-making experience. Admission is free; advanced registration is required in order to receive link access and a list of suggested materials. See below for details.

Push Pin Studios was responsible for introducing the playful visual language of 1950s and 60s illustration to advertising. Join us for an interactive virtual tour of the current exhibition The Push Pin Legacy to discover what it means for a poster to be playful. Then, apply some of the techniques we discover as we make fun watercolor drawings of our own.

Materials: 
watercolors
brushes
watercolor paper (or other thick paper)
a cup of water
paper towels
crayons

This online event will be hosted on Zoom. Closed Captioning will be provided. This event will not be recorded due to the presence of minors. Questions about access? Please email Salvador Muñoz, Public Programs Manager, at salvador@posterhouse.org.
