November 7, 2024
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Iron Street Distillery
It’s time for the first event of the season, the CMYK Poster Show! Join us on Thursday, November 7th from 5 PM – 7 PM at Iron Street Distillery in St. Cloud for a night full of fun, design inspiration, and drinks. As the above graphic states, this year’s poster theme is Vintage Vibes!
With the latest leap in technological advancements of A.I., we’re looking back to a simpler time, to the days of analog. The beauty of this competition is artists approach the theme however they want. Show us what inspires you. What tells the world a little more about who you are? What colors make you happy, excited, creative, etc? The idea of this event is that you design a unique poster around the theme of “Vintage Vibes.” Maybe it’s an old ad, patterned, or something from the past that is meaningful to you. Make it creative, make it funny, make it thoughtful, make it clever, make it whatever you choose – just make it and join us at the 2024 CMYK Poster Show!
This event has been a smashing success since its introduction a decade ago. If you’ve never participated before, the CMYK Poster Show is an event that brings together local designers, students, and professionals. It’s open to the public and whether you’re an artist, student, or a design junkie, you can participate in or attend this bangin’ event.
