Build connections across our diverse networks of ISSO students, scholars, and their family members by coming with us to explore a free community event in NYC!
Join ISSO to explore Poster House, the first U.S. museum focused on the enormous impact of posters on society and culture, and how they have been adapted to contemporary use. Poster House is a space for those interested in design, advertising, and public interventions, and aims to improve design literacy among the general public. Admission is FREE every First Friday, and the museum stays open until 9pm! Explore the museum’s latest exhibitions and get in on the fun by attending a tour, workshop, performance, or activity throughout the day. Every First Friday is different, offering unique opportunities to engage with rotating exhibitions and the permanent collection.
