The University Galleries in Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters presents “Graphic Advocacy: International Posters for the Digital Age 2001-2012” at the Ritter Art Gallery, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus. The exhibition will open on Thursday, Sept. 4 at 6:30 p.m. with a gallery talk by Elizabeth Resnick, curator of Graphic Advocacy and professor and chair of graphic design at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design. The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, Oct. 25. All events are free and open to the public.

“Graphic Advocacy: International Posters for the Digital Age 2001-2012” is a compilation of 122 selected posters that serve to both consider the designer’s role and this medium’s ability to present social and political statements that are visually able to cross language barriers.  

IThis is the third in a series of socio-political poster exhibitions developed and organized by Resnick.  The central theme of all three of her exhibitions has been that graphic design is a powerful tool. 

The University Galleries at FAU are open to the public Tuesdays through Fridays, from 1 to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m. Group and class tours are welcome during public hours as well as at other times scheduled by appointment. The Galleries exhibitions are sponsored by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. For more information, call 561-297-2661, email galleries@fau.edu or visit www.fau.edu/galleries.
