Another good reason to spend a day or two (or four!) at Seattle Center during Bumbershoot: the return of the semi-annual poster convention called Flatstock to the Center House.
In its fifth installation, Flatstock is an ongoing series of exhibitions featuring the work of many of the most popular concert poster artists working today. For people who love the advertisments for shows as much as the bands, it’s a fantastic opportunity to see a cross section of work from across the country. On top of that, you’ll get a chance to meet the artists, pick up some free buttons, and even buy some of the art. My own walls are decorated with a number of great prints that I bought last year.
This year, I’ll either need to find more wallspace or rotating some of my current collection to make room for new finds.
