The Psychedelic 60s: Posters from the Rock Era
June 11 – September 12, 2010
Canaday Gallery
Nothing is more representative of the music scene of the late 1960s than posters produced for concerts in the San Francisco Bay area. Their innovative use of text, psychedelic colors that vibrate, and coded messages have shaped graphic design ever since. Originally disposable notices for local concerts, they are now widely collected and recognized as visually defining the period. Free admission.
