Description:

Bold, rare, and deeply expressive—this vintage hand-pulled poster promotes an Arte Popular Bay Area art show, likely tied to the Chicano art movement or community-based Latinx festivals in California. Featuring powerful colors, stylized figures, and text cut with a folk-art aesthetic, this piece radiates mid-to-late 20th-century activist art energy.

 

  • Medium: Hand-pulled silkscreen or block print on paper
  • Condition: Some edge wear, creasing, and tape marks consistent with age and grassroots origin
  • Details: “South of the Border Festival,” “Open House,” “Nov 15” — possibly 1970s–80s

 

 

Incredible as wall art, especially in a gallery, studio, or cultural collection. A rare survivor of ephemeral, community-rooted art.
