Colorado Springs has a pretty thin art scene. Something typical of any suburban town. Such is life. So it follows that every interesting art gallery here becomes more interesting, and more important to the arts community. The art scene becomes more concentrated, and more communal.

One such interesting local gallery is Rubbish Gallery. And most months, I make them a handbill for their upcoming opening. I like doing it.

As I’m creating handbills for gallery openings featuring other peoples art, the design adheres to some obvious standards. I use artwork given to me by the featured artist, which limits my design choices to mostly typography. Rad! Picking typefaces, and figuring out how to use them is a good thing for me to think about.

Here is the latest handbill, for a show that starts October 8th and features new works by Holly Conlon.
