A flyer for the 1981 AAMARP exhibition ‘Young Black Artists Under 36

4

This flyer was produced for the 1981 AAMARP exhibition Young Black Artists Under 36. It shows how graphic design was used as a tool for visibility and community engagement. The typography is simple and direct, emphasizing immediacy and helping bring attention to emerging Black artists. Circulated as printed material, the flyer reflects AAMARP’s effort to reach audiences beyond traditional art spaces, especially those who were often underrepresented. The design not only advertises an exhibition but also contributes to the broader cultural and social networks that supported Black artistic production.
