We’re thrilled to announce that this year, we are partnering with Polaris Music Prize!
Each year, the Polaris music prize commissions 10 posters for all the short list nominees and 2 for the Slaight Family Heritage Prize, creating unique art pieces that are inspired by the albums. These vivid graphic interpretations of the nominees’ music are then developed into limited edition, silk-screened prints.
The poster, along with the 11 others is be part of a travelling exhibition starting in provinces across Canada. In Calgary, AB we’ll be at Sloth Records, at Sonic Boom in Toronto, ON, Taz Records in Halifax, NS, and Librairie Résonance Bookstore in Montreal, QC between September 1st and September 15th.
You can purchase these limited edition silk screen prints online, and at the Polaris Gala on September 19th. Head to the @PolarisMusicPrize’s bio to get your poster now, and while you’re at it, a ticket to the 2023 Gala at Massey Hall!
