The Festival is pleased to present an exhibit of some of Murray’s flux design community action posters. Murray is an artist, activist, photographer, graphic designer and longtime DTES resident who loves making posters almost as much as he loves canoeing. You have probably seen Murray’s posters over the years in the DTES, on everything from Woodward’s to Insite to the Olympics. His posters are challenging and bold and grab our attention to the cause. Murray will lead a poster workshop at 2pm earlier today.
This event was on Day 5 of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!
