PH x College Spring 2022
PH x College (formerly College Night) aims to provide real resources to students who are interested in pursuing careers in art, design, and museums, with an emphasis on breaking down the pathways and barriers that can intimidate young professionals when planning for their futures. Poster House’s student programming provides professional development opportunities such as a lecture series of museum professionals across departments and throughout the world of design, as well as creative workshops, resumé reviews, and direct mentorship with museum staffers.

How are museums morally and ethically obligated to ensure their spaces are accessible to all? And are they delivering on that obligation and including disabled individuals in such conversations? Join PH and artist, educator, and disability rights activist Oaklee Thiele in discussing the issue of museum accessibility and various measures cultural institutions can take to ensure all individuals are guaranteed the right to intellectually and physically engage with their texts and publications. This event will have a workshop component with breakout rooms.

Peter Max Clock Painting
Mar 4, 2022
3pm
Peter Max’s colorful, psychedelic designs with motifs drawn from Art Nouveau and Eastern painting traditions are hallmarks of the visual identity of the 1960s. Max created commissions and advertisements for a wide range of clients, from the Woodstock Music Festival (Summer of Love) to bedsheets to clocks for General Electric (GE), the latter of which act as inspiration for this event.
Held on a First Friday, access to the museum is free, and we encourage you to come early and browse the Shop, enjoy our exhibitions, and order treats from the Café!
Socially-Conscious Design Panel Discussion
Mar 8, 2022

With the rise of shareable graphics about social justice, socially-conscious design has become an incredibly important component of our daily media intake. A diverse panel of artists will discuss their journeys, ethos, and the thought processes that influence their practices. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A, where panelists will engage with participants about design ethics and their political implications.
