Posters and Pitchforks

FLATSTOCK 9 Poster Convention
and the Pitchfork Music Festival
Union Park, Chicago
July 29th - 30th, 2006
Noon to 10PM

Chicago revs up this weekend with art, music, films and more...

FLATSTOCK 9 will be happening July 29th and 30th , 2006 during the Pitchfork Music Festival. Poster artists from around the world will be pitching tents in Union Park for the world famous convention sponsored by the American Poster Institute, dedicated to the promotion of music poster art and design worldwide. Now based in Chicago for easier access from East coast fans. Come grab posters and hear the stories behind them straight from the artist. FLATSTOCK is free for everyone with a Pitchfork Music Festival pass so come one come all. Show up early and be ready to be overwhelmed with amazing posters (you might want to bring some dough too since you won't want to leave empty handed.) FLATSTOCK is an all-ages event.

Pitchfork Music Festival won't be just another sun-drenched party in a park. More than music, more than just two days in July and more than Pitchfork Media, the festival will be a week-long, city-wide celebration of underground arts and culture presented in partnership with Chicago's foremost clubs and other cultural institutions.
