This original poster celebrates two historic milestones in 2026: the City of Manchester’s 180th anniversary and the United States’ 250th anniversary. I wanted to capture the spirit and history of Manchester through bold, graphic visuals inspired by the patriotic posters of the WWII era, while highlighting the people, places, and character that make the city unique. It was selected as one of two poster designs that will be sold at city hall to support the ongoing work and public art initiatives of the Manchester Arts Commission.
