UTC & AIGA Chattanooga Present: Art Chantry
Famed north-west poster (and logo) designer Art Chantry will be speaking at the UTC University Center auditorium on friday, January 12th at 7:00
Art has produced a body of work that, however unorthodox, still rivals some of the best graphic design in the world. He has won hundreds of design and advertising awards, including a bronze lion at Cannes, and the Poster Laureate of the Colorado International Invitational Poster Exposition. His work has been collected and exhibited by some of the most prestigious museums and galleries in the world: the Louvre, The Smithsonian, The Library of Congress and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to name a few. His work has been published in hundreds of books and magazines and in 2001 Chronicle Books published the monograph of his work, Some People Can't Surf, written by Julie Lasky.
During his time working in Seattle, Art carved out a style that took hold of the popular underground music scene in the early 1990s. Soon his ideas extended to the fledgling record label, Sub Pop, where it became part of music history. His unique ideas found further life in his work for the garage rock record label, Estrus Records.
