Everyone should make time to check out one of the best events of its kind to ever hit the East Coast. Sweet: The Graphic Beauty of the Contemporary Rock Poster is a 2-month long Rock Poster exhibition at the Art Gallery at the University of Maryland. The show features twenty-nine of the leading artists/groups of silk-screened contemporary rock posters, on view Wednesday, February 6 through Saturday, March 29, 2008. Artist & Illustrator Jesse LeDoux has created a site-specific installation in the back gallery that displays the versatility of the screen printing technique, and artist Tim Gough has created unique signage for the exhibition utilizing silk-screening and other media applied directly to the walls. The opening was a hit, with a HUGE turnout, and the opening-day poster sale, “Sweet Booth”, was just that…sweet!!
