The Challenge:

Where would YOU like to vacation? We’ll all be WORLD TRAVELERS with this year’s “For Members’ Only” Quilt Challenge: “Travel Poster Art”, with entries to be unveiled at our June 11, 2009 Guild meeting. Let’s celebrate the beauty, and art, of travel posters that have the power to whisk us away with the lure of exotic locales or dream of a longed-for destination.

The colorful photographic images commonly seen today on travel posters are breathtaking, but DO check out “vintage travel posters” for some graphic inspiration… many contain wonderfully artful compositions. The Internet is an excellent source for some great viewing examples; be sure to give these two sites a try: http://www.allposters.com and http://www.posterclassics.com

Co-Chairs: Kathy Rose, Isabel Downs
