Awards gala, winners

On 1st December 2017, the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures in Lublin hosted the 3rd International Poster Biennale Lublin award gala. The event was organized by the Artistic Association Open Studio,  the Department of Arts at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University and the Centre for the Meeting of Cultures in Lublin.

200 works were qualified for the competition and shown at the accompanying exhibition. The exhibition, being distinctly varied, proved that poster art is still very much alive, even though advertising is nowadays dominated by television and the internet. Most works displayed high artistic value, intriguing ideas and strong messages. The subject matters of the posters were quite diversified, including film, music, theatre, exhibition or event poster. The artists also touched upon some major social problems.
