Z-Stock is a concert poster convention presented by the American Poster Institute (API) in association with ZXZW, the leading European festival for independent culture. It is an exhibition featuring the work of many of the most popular concert poster artists working today.
This is a great chance for all artists working in the concert poster field to display and sell some of their work in the best context possible! A selection of colleagues from all over the world will also give you the opportunity to explore different styles within the visual ‘genre’ of the concert poster.
The API is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to serving poster artists and promoting the art form. Both the API and its FLATSTOCK series were organized in 2002 as a result of conversations between interested artists and supporters frequenting the popular web site GigPosters.com. The best concert posters have always captured both the essence of the music they promoted and the spirit of the time in which they were produced. This is as true today as it was in San Francisco during the Sixties.
Z-Stock provide the general public with an ongoing series of opportunities to see fine poster art in person and to meet the artists who’ve created it — they provide the API with a way to present the poster artists collectively while showcasing the breadth of individual styles they represent.
