The Rock Poster Society • Festival of Posters • Release Information

San Francisco’s annual Fall Clas­sic, the TRPS Fes­ti­val of Rock Posters is set to go for Sat­ur­day Octo­ber 13th, 2012 at the San Fran­cisco County Fair Build­ing (aka Hall of Flow­ers) in beau­ti­ful Golden Gate Park.

Fea­tur­ing rock poster artists and deal­ers from around the coun­try, this is the biggest rock poster event of its kind any­where. Those of you who have attended this show in the past know that this is the one not to miss. We bring in the best of the best, and you’ll find every­thing from vin­tage psy­che­delic trea­sures to the best of the mod­ern silkscreen move­ment. This year’s ver­sion promises to offer another stel­lar lineup.

The loca­tion is at the cor­ner of Ninth and Lin­coln on the South edge of the Park, not far from the Haight, the DeY­oung Museum, and the Acad­emy of Sci­ences. There are plenty of great restau­rants close by, too. Make it a week­end and bring the fam­ily to enjoy the great weather, an awe­some poster event, and every­thing else San Fran­cisco has to offer.

I won’t be able to attend due to my tour of Argentina, but I will have a presence there, thanks to TRPS member Ben Clarke, who will man my booth. He and Derrick Brickert expertly helped me handle the booth last year, so you will be in good hands.

Truth is, while TRPS is going on, I’ll be presenting the story of the San Francisco Rock Poster Tradition to the largest design conference in Latin-America. So while you are here in San Francisco experiencing our Great Rock Poster Tradition; I’ll be in Buenos Aires, spreading the word, sharing our history of the rock poster from 1965 to the present. Many of TRPS’ artist line-up will be represented in my presentation. So throw me your supportive thoughts while “San Francisco Represents” in the Southern Hemisphere.
