Psychedelic posters were the signature art form of the 1960s. They decorated college dorm rooms, homes and offices across the United States and around the world.

Clark College will host its 2009-2010 Faculty Speaker Series with “From Far Out to Mainstream: Lifecycle of the Psychedelic Rock Posters, 1965-73," at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12. The Faculty Speaker Series event is free and open to the public and will be held in the Penguin Student Lounge, located in Clark’s Penguin Union Building, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way.

The Faculty Speaker Series, established by Clark College with support from the Clark College Foundation, honors individual faculty members and celebrates academic excellence. Sally Tomlinson, professor of art at Clark College, will lead the discussion.

Tomlinson, who resides in Vancouver, has written essays on the rock posters for the San Diego Museum of Art, Penguin Books’ Portable Sixties Reader (ed. Anne Charters, 2003) and the Tate-Liverpool’s “Summer of Love” exhibition of 2007, in addition to her master of arts thesis which was completed in the early 1990s. In September 2009, she was invited to speak about the posters for an exhibition opening at the Flint Art Institute in Michigan.
