ABOUT

An exceptional series of contemporary graphic design, aimed at bringing the Summer Olympic Games to the Bay Area in 2012. The Bridge to the Future original poster series from 2002 consists of commemorative posters by twelve nationally renowned artists in support of San Francisco Bay Area's bid for the 2012 Olympic Games. Artists include Primo Angeli, Sharrie Brooks, David Lance Goines, Kit Hinrichs, Michael Mabry, Jennifer Morla, Jean Orlebeke, Ward Schumaker, Michael Schwab, Todd Simmons, Samuel Smidt, Michael Vanderbyl and Min Wang.
