FLATSTOCK
The FLATSTOCK poster show series is presented by the American Poster Institute (API). It is an ongoing series of exhibitions featuring the work of many of the most popular concert poster artists working today. The API is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to serving poster artists and promoting the art form. Both the API and its FLATSTOCK series were organized in 2002 as a result of conversations between interested artists and supporters frequenting the popular web site GigPosters.com . The best concert posters have always captured both the essence of the music they promoted and the spirit of the time in which they were produced. This is as true today as it was in San Francisco during the Sixties. The FLATSTOCK shows provide the general public with an ongoing series of opportunities to see fine poster art in person and to meet the artists who've created it -- they provide the API with a way to present the poster artists collectively while showcasing the breadth of individual styles they represent.

Flatstock 40 will be taking place at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, July 19-21, 2013.
This is an outdoor event. We will be located in tents along the eastern end of Washington Ave., in Union Park, as before.
The registration fee for a 10x10' tent space is $425. The booth fee includes tent, table, chairs, and cardboard panels to display your work.
We are limited to only 43 10x10' spaces. We will certainly have at least that many registrants. You're free to request a double space, but you won't get it.
Shared 10x10' spaces are available and encouraged. If splitting a space, please indicate with whom, when you register. If you don't have a partner in mind, we can help pair you up.
PLEASE only register for Flatstock if you definitely plan on coming, and will be present in your tent for the full three days.
Registrations in excess of of our 43 spaces will go on a wait list, in the order they are received. If you don't get in at first, please don't stomp off in a huff, get yourself on that list. Multiple artists come in off the wait list, every year.
You must have a festival pass or vendor credentials to enter the festival grounds and Flatstock.
Each 10x10' single space includes vendor admission for TWO persons TOTAL, Friday-Saturday-Sunday.
That means, for shared singles, you each get 1 pass. For you, only. Any other helpers need to buy a ticket.
Once you have registered you must return a signed contract, signed liability waiver, and payment no later than June 1st. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of your space, and a happy surprise for someone on the wait list.
