Get Up & Go/Senior Friendship: CLASSIC 1960’S ROCK POSTERS

Join Russ Bertetta and Rodney Paul to travel back in time and rediscover the highly original posters that publicized the innovative music at the heart of San Francisco’s rock scene. The folk-rock music of mid-1960s San Francisco included an exciting visual counterpoint: the trippy designs used to advertise musical lineups at The Fillmore and other local venues. The Posters have become a celebrated art form, and the era is remembered not only for its psychedelic sounds but also for these fascinating and often confounding images. This lecture provides you with ways to help mine these artworks for meaning based on your own experiences and perceptions.
