The Burnaby Art Gallery is the place to go for posters this winter.
The Artist Poster Show is on now until April 7, featuring artwork by Guerrilla Girls, Jack Shadbolt and Rodney Graham, as well as a contemporary selection of posters from Artspeak, Or Gallery and Western Front.
The highlight of this exhibition is the commissioned 12-poster series by Sonny Assu called There Is Hope, If We Rise, in the main gallery.
This series is part of the discourse of the Idle No More movement and was inspired by Shepard Fairey's iconic "Hope" poster of Barack Obama.
The gallery commissioned this exhibition with funding from the City of Burnaby and the British Columbia Arts Council. For more information and full list of featured artists, call 604-297-4422.
