Evening for Educators: Psychedelic Rock Posters and Fashion of the 1960s

Psychedelic Rock Posters and Fashion of the 1960s reveals the passion and creativity of the era through the iconic rock posters of San Francisco and beyond. The Haight- Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco was an incubator for ideas, expression, social thought, and, above all, music. To capture the heady experience of life and music at this time, poster artists invented a graphic language to communicate the excitement of rock concerts, which featured liquid light shows and film projections. This exhibition brings together more than 200 posters and 20 eclectic vintage fashion styles ranging from embroidered denim and hippy fringe to crochet and velvet.

Get your groove on and join us for lively conversation and workshops with Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Drawings, and Learning Department staff.
