MTC ART GALLERY

The MTC Community Art Program Presents: The Bridge to the Future: Olympics 2012 Posters by Bay Area Designers Joseph P. Bort MetroCenter 101 Eighth Street, Oakland (at the Lake Merritt BART station) Café, First Floor 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays The Olympic Games not only attract the world’s greatest athletes, they also attract some of the world’s greatest designers. The graphic imagery that colors the celebration of each Olympiad blends the character of the host city with the visual traditions of Olympic design. In its quest to become the U.S. Candidate City for the 2012 Olympic Games, San Francisco has invited thirteen nationally prominent designers living in the Bay Area to create posters that express the Bid’s theme—The Bridge to the Future. Their work is presented here as a preview of the incredible array of imagery that will grace the city if San Francisco wins the right to host the Games.	© Primo Angeli
