Look what
a city can make.
A poster show built around a simple idea: give artists a city to interpret and give the city a reason to come together.
Jason Craig.
An independent graphic designer, illustrator and muralist, Jason Craig has called the Augusta area home since 1998. His work travels well beyond the city, from national brands to public art. The Poster Show brings that creative ambition back home.
Jason created and curated the first three exhibitions, bringing together artists with different disciplines, experiences and connections to Augusta.
Shown here: First Friday, 2021

Thank you,
Nancy Glaser.
Special thanks to the late Nancy Glaser, one of the Augusta Poster Show’s first judges and executive director of the Augusta Museum of History.
In 2021, Nancy helped recognize the work that captured the heart of Augusta. Her time and support are part of this show’s beginning and will always be part of its story.
Printed with
purpose.
Phoenix Printing has been our printing partner since the beginning. Since the first show in 2021, they have helped bring these artists’ ideas to life in print. Thank you for being part of every chapter.
Thank you also to the venues that opened their doors and to the artists and collectors who made each show possible.
The artists retain the rights to their work. This archive celebrates their ideas, credits their contributions and connects you with their creative practice.
