The Poster Festival of the Américas is a multicultural celebration of the plurality of our continent through the lens of poster design. The festival connects disadvantaged youth, design students and professional designers through the quintessential form or urban art: the poster. Born from CARTEL Strategies, a design firm centered in brand culture and inclusive development, The Poster Festival of the Américas advances the art of poster design, commercial illustration and artivism. Through a series of poster workshops,

International design speakers, music, food, and cultural festivities, The Poster Festival of the Américas celebrates the differences that brings us together.
