Beginning in the 1960’s the poster emerged as a legitimate and powerful tool for social justice and education. Posters increase awareness of important issues and can serve as a catalyst for change. The posters in this show address global issues including war, equality and the environment. The gallery features posters from some of the country’s best known designers. The posters are available for purchase through the silent auction and proceeds benefit the VSA Colorado/Access Gallery Giving Voice project. We are particularly excited to exhibit this work as it aligns well with our mission.

For the last seven years VSA Colorado/Access Gallery has partnered with AIGA Colorado to present the Giving Voice Program. The goal of this program is to empower teens with disabilities to voice a cause that is important to them. We pair each teen with a professional graphic designer to create an educational poster based on a personal experience or a global issue. The title Giving Voice is inspired by the simple idea that teenagers rarely have a chance to express what is significant to them and more importantly have someone listen. Whether their posters focus on personal frustrations or global concerns this project gives every participant a voice.
