A conversation and exhibition tour with artist Lou Stovall and Mary Early of Hemphill Fine Arts.

Posters have historically informed the public of events, causes, and actions. The Workshop, Inc., founded in 1968 and guided by the artist Lou Stovall, created posters serving these purposes. Today the Stovall posters offer us a view into a critical transitional period in the District of Columbia. The array of messages –political, social, and artistic –worked towards building a community, helping to define its members and goals. The Stovall posters, created around the time of DC independence, were a serious form of communication. Yet, the posters are jubilant and entertaining.
