The Federation for the Advancement of Time
826LA and the Echo Park Time Travel Mart are proud to premiere the second collection of original time travel-themed posters designed by Los Angeles-based artist Amy Martin.
This year's collection is in collaboration with the The Federation for the Advancement of Time—because no matter when you live, it's always the right time for good temporal citizenship! Each poster promotes a civic message for good citizenship in the far past or distant future, transforming the predictable aesthetic of the WPA poster with ironic sloganeering such as "Fire Good But Also Bad" and "Robots! Clean Your Drives Daily," coupled with clean, retro graphic design.
They are available now for pre-order at the Time Travel Mart online. Each poster is $19.99, or you can buy a set of 4 for $69.99. All proceeds go to 826LA; last year's posters raised over $30,000 for 826LA's programs.
Purchase them in person and meet the artist at The Echo Park Time Travel Mart! 826LA and Stories Books and Cafe will be hosting an open house with music, art, food, and drink on September 12 at 7:30 p.m.
