The National Poster Retrospecticus celebrates the art of gig posters at Radford University
|
|

Radford University Art Museum promotes this idea with the National Poster Retrospecticus (NPR), a gig and art poster show on exhibition from Sept. 8 to Oct. 7. Some of the most prominent poster designers from North America will have their work on the walls of the museum’s Covington Center location. These include heavy hitters like Aaron Draplin, Jay Ryan, and Daniel Danger.
