The Poster Factory--A Blast from the Past

These vintage posters are the work of the Poster Factory. Active from 1970-1974, the Poster Factory created art attacking the Vietnam War, promoting environmental consciousness, and other social movement themes. The group silkscreened posters in a warehouse at the University of Minnesota. George Beyer, a veteran of the Artists' Union and WPA projects of the 1930's and a founding member of the Northland Poster Collective, played a key role. The Poster Factory collection is available while supplies last.
