TRPS is pleased to announce that this year’s TRPS Festival of Rock Posters will be held on Saturday October 10th from 10:00 to 6:00. Once again we’ll be at the Hall of Flowers in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. As always, the show will feature rock poster artists and dealers from around the country, and is the one show not to be missed by poster collectors and all fans of rock art. Those of you who were with us at last year’s show know that this has become a destination event, and this year’s lineup is already shaping up to be one of our best ever.

The Hall of Flowers (AKA the Old County Fair Building) is located near the corner of Ninth and Lincoln. Admission is $10 ($5 for TRPS members with card).

Last year’s Artist Relief Trust benefit poster by Emek (the surfing skeleton) was a huge success, and we’re following that up this time with an offering from none other than Gary Houston. This will be the official show poster, and will be a limited edition, signed and numbered, hand-pulled silkscreen print, and will be available only at the show. We’ll post the image here as soon as it’s available. We’re thrilled to have Gary graciously contributing his efforts to what we plan to be an ongoing series. Gary’s one of the best in the business, and a big favorite of many of us. Of course, all proceeds from the sale of this poster will go straight into the TRPS Artist Relief Trust, to provide help to poster artists in time of need.
