Poster Show 2025: The Atlanta Influence is right around the corner! This year’s theme is all about the culture, creativity, and legacy of our city. Buy your ticket now to AIGA ATL’s biggest creative gallery show of the season!

This Summer, we invited the design community to create a poster inspired by an aspect of the city that stood was important to them, and …. that’s the whole brief. No clients, no rounds of edits, just a blank page and their magic.

We’re throwing a big party and gallery show to reveal and celebrate the top 36 posters chosen by our esteemed judges whose expertise span creative direction, large-scale murals, relief printing and more— with one thing in common: their love and connection to this city. Come see these selected posters (and even take some home) at AIGA Atlanta’s (our nonprofit community and professional association) biggest fundraiser of the year: Sunday, September 21 from 5-8pm at Little Tree Art Studios.

This is a drop-by event with activities throughout and a brief presentation every thirty minutes.

Tickets – PRESALE: $10 | AT DOOR: $15
