poster for tomorrow endorses the first edition of Fête du Graphisme, the first national event dedicated to graphic arts in France. The event will take place in Paris starting from 15 January and ending on 15 February.

Venues such as the Docks – City of Fashion and Design, Gaîté Lyrique, MK2 Bibliothèque and the National Library of France (BnF) will host shows, screenings and meetings to promote and develop graphic arts in France.

Graphic design exhibitions will be on display on the streets of Paris, including the famous promenade on Champs-Elysées. As Paris is our home as well, we are glad to see an initiative that will allow graphic design professionals from France and abroad to take on this important stage for once. We strongly hope that this will help to place the city on the map as a graphic design capital.

The project is produced by Artevia, an agency specialised in social and cultural project development. Fête du Graphisme has received the patronage of the French Ministry of Culture and Communication and is sponsored by the city of Paris. We’re very happy to add our endorsement to a project that aims to show to the public the beauty and the complexity of the graphic design industry while highlighting the cultural contributions that the graphic arts bring to society.
