The evening of November 1, Punk Planet will join forces with The Center for the Study of Political Graphics, Clamor, In These Times, and artists, activists, and volunteers throughout the U.S. to present a national night of swing-state postering, an election eve celebration of artistic activism.
We are concentrating our efforts around polling places in OH, WI, PA and FL. Poster-hangers, artists, printers, and financial donations (to offset mailing, printing, and materials costs) in these states and others are urgently needed.
We can provide some posters to the interested from participating artists like Robbie Conal, Jay Ryan, Emek, Frank Kozik, Geoff Peveto, and Kathleen Judge. We will also provide an online database of works for download at this site soon.
To join the informational mailing list or for questions, please send an e-mail to:
