The Ripple Effect

About the Ripple Effect

Good advertising, by its nature, packs many ideas, emotions and information into an economy of words and images, and leaves us with lasting impressions.

Historical advertising presents the added wrinkles of memories, legacies, and contrasts with current technology, lifestyles and cultural norms.

Our poets and musicians add depth and context to the items from this exhibit which inspired their musings and reflections. Enjoy as our artists take you on these journeys and let their works create a ripple effect that inspires you to engage in your own musings inspired by this exhibit.
